Packers gifted awful pass interference call and still couldn’t score (Video)
The Jaguars were called for one of the worst pass interference calls you’ll see this season, but the Green Bay Packers couldn’t take advantage of the ref’s gift.
Are Pac-12 refs working the Green Bay Packers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars tilt on Sunday afternoon? That’s what Jacksonville fans are surely thinking, as an egregious call has already gone against the AFC South at Lambeau Field.
In the first quarter, Aaron Rodgers delivered a deep ball downfield for stud tight end Robert Tonyan to try and come down with. The ball hit the turf, but so did a yellow flag moments later. When watching the replay, however, how in the world was this called pass interference on Myles Jack?
A pass interference all against Myles Jack against the Packers was an absolute joke
On which planet is that a penalty? Jack was in perfect position to make a play, which he did. Tonyan had no chance to come down with the ball, as he and Rodgers weren’t on the same page on this play. Yet, the zebras decided to bail out the Packers? Simply unreal.
Fortunately for Jack and Jacksonville, Rodgers and the Green Bay offense were unable to take advantage of the great field position, with the team going scoreless on the drive. That’s a ‘ball don’t lie‘ kind of moment if we’ve ever seen one.
In the first quarter, the Packers have looked simply atrocious and are not playing like a team that’s at the top of the NFC North standings with a 6-2 record. They’re playing down to the Jaguars’ level, which is something head coach Matt LaFleur obviously will work to change immediately. As for the Jags, let’s hope, for their sake, no more terrible calls are made against them.
