Chris Jones controversial roughing the passer penalty on Derek Carr in Chiefs vs. Raiders sparks another NFL rules debate This is not football anymore
A rough weekend for roughing the pa ser.Just over 24 hours after a controversial rough the pa ser call played into the , an equally as egregious if not worse call took place on "Monday Night Football."Late in the second quarter of the Monday night matchup, Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones strip-sacked Raiders pa ser Derek Carr, but a flag for roughing the pa ser was thrown, seemingly for Jones landing on top of Carr with all his body weight.Not sure what else Chris Jones can do here Lily Zhao (@LilySZhao) This specific implementation of the roughing the pa ser rule falls under , New York Yankees Jersey which bans "stuffing" the quarterback into the ground:B. A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as stuffing a pa ser into the ground or unnece sarily wrestling or driving him down after the pa ser has thrown the ball, even if the rusher makes his initial contact with the pa ser within the one-step limitation provided for in (a) above. When tackling a pa Reggie Jackson Jersey ser who is in a defensele s posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pa s), a defensive player must not unnece sarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defenders weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to fall to the side of the quarterbacks body, or to brace his fall with his arms to avoid landing on the quarterback with all or most of his body weight.MORE: But that's where the gray area comes in: Jones appears to brace his fall with his left hand, which would satisfy the last criteria of avoiding the rule here.The Raiders would take the 15-yard penalty and parlay it into a field goal to stretch the lead to 20-7. Adam Lind Jersey The , deeming the play somewhat le s consequential in the end.After the game, referee Carl Cheffers explained the reasoning behind his call of roughing the pa ser.The full pool report with referee Carl Cheffers on the Chris Jones roughing the pa ser penalty: Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) He gets the full protection of all the aspects of what we give the quarterback in the pa sing posture. So, when he was tackled, my ruling was the defender landed on him with his full body weight. The quarterback is protected from being tackled with full body weight. My ruling was roughing the pa ser for that reason the fact that the ball came out Johnny Damon Jersey and was subsequently recovered by the defense is not relevant as far as protraction the quarterback gets.No one (aside from Raiders fans) were pleased with the call, starting with Troy Aikman and continuing to Tony Dungy and others:Awful call game. needs lots of work on roughing the pa ser!! Sean Payton (@SeanPayton) This is not football anymore. I know we have to protect the QB but Chris Jones was recovering a fumble. We have gotten ridiculous with this. Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) Chris Jones just became the first player in NFL history called for roughing the pa ser while holding the ball. Tom Peli sero (@TomPeli sero) That is one of the worst calls Ive ever seen! We stand with Chris Jones. Chris Williamson (@CWilliamson44) roughing the pa ser? that's absurd - Chris Jones even was holding the football by the time the two landed on the ground Billy Heyen (@BillyHeyen) Chris Jones roughed the pa ser on a play that he po se sed the ball. A first in NFL history! nick wright (@getnickwright) The Don Mattingly Jersey NFL has to fix this rule. We know they adjust how games are officiated and for the sake of the game, it must be done with this penalty. Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) The NFL has announced a new rule that when a defensive player tackles the QB it is automatically roughing the pa ser. Field Yates (@FieldYates) Me: That roughing the pa ser call on Grady Jarrett is the worst Ive ever seen.MNF officials: Jemele Hill (@jemelehill)
