Ball Don’t Lie: 3 worst calls from Week 5 in the NFL

Week 5 worst calls: Tom Brady gets a Tom Brady call

Another case of landing with his entire body weight, Jarrett actually tried to avoid such a fate. As one can see from the replay, Jarrett opted to roll off of Brady, rather than sling him to the turf or make any such motion with excessive forced. Brady is 45 years old, and he’s the GOAT. Defensive players around the league know he’ll receive such calls from the officiating crew.

Jarrett, much like Jones, had a respectable response to the call. It’s almost like defensive players have grown numb to it all:

“I’m not saying that it cost us the game, but it cost us an opportunity to go win the game,” Jarrett said. “If it’s costing people games, it’s going to cost people’s livelihood’s, it’s costing people opportunity. You never know who will go down and make a crazy play. When people watch it to be entertained, they love to see some game winning drives and then when you do it the right way, that’s what makes it so frustrating because you did follow the rules.”

And with that, we sit and wait. Defensive players have been punished for far too long on awful roughing the passer calls. In a sense, the league is between a rock and hard place. The public has called for more safety measures to protect players, yet they don’t want said measure to go too far.
