The NFL has a big problem on it its hands – nobody knows what pass interference is, especially the refs who get paid to make such calls.
While Denver Broncos fans couldn’t believe nothing was called on the final play of their game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Houston Texans star wide receiver DeAndrew was so mad that he called out the NFL after what seemed like an obvious pass interference call wasn’t made in the Texans’ loss to the Ravens.
What made that no-call even more incredible is that the Texans challenged the call, it was reviewed, and the league said it was not pass interference.
It sure looked like PI:
The refs really reviewed this and STILL said it wasn’t pass interference 😶 pic.twitter.com/4MrjX28D7u

Hopkins thought so, too, saying the league needs someone else in New York to decide on these calls.
As a leader in the NFL, we need someone new in New York deciding calls. https://t.co/szdHjWhKbR

Oh, and look at this call in the Cardinals-49ers game:
Pass interference… on the guy who was tackled? pic.twitter.com/j1twSec1ka

Yup, this is a mess.
