You don’t have to be the biggest pro football fan to know that the NFL’s new roughing the passer rules (and the resulting flags) have created quite the controversy.
In the fourth week of the 2018 season, unbelievable calls are still being made. Former LSU LB Arden Key is the latest victim and the call against might be the most ridiculous one yet.
Key comes after Cleveland Browns QB Baker Mayfield, as pass-rushers tend to do. He makes contact with Mayfield and that was apparently worthy of a flag. This one is truly hard to understand considering Mayfield did not even go to the ground.
