Thoughts
On the theme of inconsistent officiating why was this not a first down?
Before the 4th down stop, John Bates appears to get the first down on 1st and 10.
Spot was followed by back to back runs that lost two yards and the 4th down fiasco.
1) Am I missing something? Clear first down.
2) Why didn’t Quinn challenge this? pic.twitter.com/HekvK1vxcc— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) November 15, 2024
Coming up is Dallas, which is the sixth most penalized team in the league, so expect flags to fly on Sunday.
