Evidently Bill Vinovich's crew called only four defensive holding penalties all season, second-lowest in the league.
Top penalties his crew called this year:
Offensive Holding: 31
False Start: 24
Offsides: 13
DPI: 12
Unnecessary Roughness: 10
Delay of Game
Chiefs fans are saying If you want to jam the Bengals receivers at the line and play physical downfield, this is the crew you want calling the game
We shall see
My thoughts:
- I doubt anyone game plans around the refs they have
- CBs whiff on jamming all the time. There's big play potential here because Chase is going to win a sprint every time
- Higgins has 4 inches and 20lb's on KC's largest DB. I'm sure he would be fine if it was more physical
