If you think Southeastern Conference referees are bad, just wait until you see what happened in the NFL on Sunday.

During the Minnesota-Detriot game, Lions defender Tracy Walker was called for roughing the passer for tackling Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.

What’s so unusual about that?

Well, Walker simply tackled Cousins.

Walker didn’t hit Cousins late. Walker didn’t put his full body weight down on Cousins.

The referee that called this one may need to explain himself after the game.

The referee later made another head-scratching decision in this game that hurt the Lions.
