Yesterday, an official threw a flag on Norman for illegal contact and ALSO threw his hat because a Redskins safety speared AJ Green helmet to helmet. I saw him explaining to the other refs that he threw his hat because of the targeting of a defenseless receiver. Literally read his lips on television. They then went on to say that there was no flag for unnecessary roughness.
Why are officials allowed to pick up their flags? They obviously came out for a reason.
Well you always want the conference to be able to get a play right, which is why it is allowed, but they were wrong there. Nopt a huge gripe, the guy will get fined and we still got a first down.
