Another week of football, another instance of NFL refs under scrutiny for missing an obvious penalty call.
The latest criticism of the NFL refs occurred during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 5 home game against the New Orleans Saints. The game was probably over anyway, but the officials have no excuse for missing a clear-as-day pass interference penalty call.
The officiating controversy took place in the fourth quarter with New Orleans trailing by 13. Jake Haener had to finish the game for New Orleans after starting quarterback Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury.
Haener attempted a pass to wide receiver Chris Olave, who was blatantly interfered with by Chiefs safety Bryan Cook. Incredibly, the NFL refs didn’t bother to throw a flag here:

Even Troy Aikman couldn’t believe the play didn’t draw a flag:

As you would have expected, this non-call that benefited the Chiefs caused plenty of outrage from fans, with some even accusing the NFL of “rigging” it for Patrick Mahomes and the defending champs:
For what it’s worth, the penalty calls were almost even on Monday evening. New Orleans was flagged five times by the NFL refs for 70 yards, and the Chiefs were called for six infractions with 55 yards.
With the victory, the Chiefs improved to 5-0 heading into their bye week. As for the Saints, they have now lost three in a row following a once-promising 2-0 start. They host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EST.
NFL Refs Weren’t The Issue In Chiefs-Saints Game
There was immense backlash against the NFL refs in the Chiefs-Cincinnati Bengals Week 2 game. There, the Bengals’ game-winning stop on fourth down was nullified by a controversial pass interference call that set up Harrison Butker’s game-winning field goal.But the officials cannot be blamed for this outcome. The Chiefs were the better team from start to finish, and even if Cook was flagged for PI on Olave, it’s not like the Saints were about to score two late touchdowns against the NFL’s No. 1 team.
