Ever since the Tua Tagovailoa incident happened, the referees looked extra cautious and subsequently penalized the players with an unwarranted roughing the passer call. Falcons’ defensive lineman Grady Jarrett and Chiefs’ Chris Jones fell prey to such referee calls.

While the sacks were washed out as roughing the passer, the Rams’ fourth-year Cornerback got slapped with a fine for getting involved in a moment with the opposition QB.
