Calling Burrow for grounding and looking the other way when Herbert was clearly not called for obvious grounding. And they were grabbing Burrow's facemask on about every other time they got to him. No one will convince me they are not now betting on games through surrogates. Too many obviously missed calls all across the league.
Agree that the Bengals always find unique ways to blow games on their own even without the refs help. Again, I agree that these games are no doubt scripted for a certain finish with certain teams getting certain calls that DO determine the outcomes. Whether or not betting is happening it wouldn't surprise me at all but I definitely feel the refs get their "instructions" beforehand.
Yea, still shots of Burrow's facemask turned sideways on his head and no call more than one time. It only takes one call to change the outcome of a close game and the Bengals seem to never benefit from those calls. They are forever in the NFL's doghouse.
