If you’ve heard this before, stop: Another NFL playoff game, another occasion to be completely confused by exactly what football fans are trolling passers for.<\/p>\n
A handful of call\/no-calls on ruffing passers were one of the game’s most costly penalties during Saturday’s AFC Division Round matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs, hoping for terrible consistency. It confused and annoyed those who were there.<\/p>\n
Whether you’re a Jags or Chiefs fan or just a spectator, you’re likely to raise your hand and get worse.<\/p>\n
On one play, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence took a big beating from Chiefs defensive tackle Harlen Sanders, welcoming the question of where the flag was.<\/p>\n

On another play, the Jags were not penalized for a hit by pass rusher Arden Key on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes that temporarily forced him out of the game. people wondered.<\/p>\n

Keys’ two hits against Mahomes also got people talking about whether they deserved the dreaded penalty.<\/p>\n
\nArden Key’s first rough to passer was much worse than the second. But the official got one of the two. The key is on a mission. pic.twitter.com\/7ZchCA drfs<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, troll passers-by? you decide. Some feel the league is easier with Mahomes than Lawrence, while others are puzzled as to what the penalty means anymore.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n\nHow I blatantly missed harassing passers-by…<\/p>\n
This is ridiculous.<\/p>\n

\nThis rough passerby is getting out of hand<\/p>\n

\nThe very obvious bias of who trolls the passer call may actually be the worst aspect of penalties.<\/p>\n

\nOne of these was called a passerby ruff and one was not. Which do you think is which? @NFL<\/a> @NFL official<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/FGKC4pjf0m<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\n\nIf you call a passer ruff on Chad Henne’s helmet-to-helmet play (which it did), you should call it on that Trevor Lawrence play.<\/p>\n
It’s ridiculously inconsistent. Literally exactly the same play, called two different ways<\/p>\n

\nI don’t understand how the people who make their living covering this sport think. Claiming this is dirty play is silly. <\/p>\n
If he drives him to the ground, he gets a roughing the passer penalty. <\/p>\n
It’s an injury and it happens in football. https:\/\/t.co\/oI28ceD45v<\/p>\n

\nI’m going out on a limb and saying you shouldn’t put 1-tech straight into your QB. <\/p>\n
Also, the inconsistency in roughing the passer’s call is infuriating. If it was Mahomes it would be a flag every time.<\/p>\n

\nCan someone explain the difference between hitting Lawrence and ruffing a passer penalty on a hit to Mahomes?<\/p>\n
