Anyone thinking the league doesn't have their favorites should rewatch that game. More phantom hold calls against the Bengals than I've ever seen in a game. And somehow with Hendrickson and others being clotheslined about every play almost no penalties on the other side. Some of the worst officiating I've seen yet. And Aikman is one of my favorites to listen to because he'll call that stuff out like he did last night.

Joe Burrow got hit late right in front of the official, with the official looking right at him. Aikman said he was sure that particular official was going to call roughing the passer, but the official never did. (The official did call a hold on the Bengals player holding back Micah Parsons, but not the Parsons' late hit on the same play--so the official was watching) The Burrow got a long, facemask pull that caused him to fumble -- one so egregious that Zac Taylor could see it on the sideline -- but the officials kept their flags in their pockets. It's like Burrow is not afforded the protection by officials that other QBs have.
