“Just saw the entire highlights of the NFL game last night (east coast sports, whatever). Is the swagger and confidence not a part of football? I get it, to an extent… Seems like refs are feeling very empowered this season and impacting games. What y’all think?”

So a fan replied to this tweet, saying that this is a part of the game. But he called out the referee for calling cheap shots on Justin Fields and the phantom calls against the Chicago Bears. Moreover, he also said that this changes the outcome of the game.

And JT seemed to be agreeing to this as he replied, “That’s what I mean. It’s almost gotten to the point where it looks shady at times, no? I rarely make it till the end of a prime-time game as I go to sleep early. So when I watched the highlights this am, I was very rattled. Seemed like a horribly officiated game.”

Furthermore, a Twitter user questioned Justin what would he do if a rules official hip-checked him and gave him a penalty stroke. “That’s what bothered me, maybe more than anything. If a player did that (in any sport) to a ref, they’d be suspended and majorly fined. NFL needs to hold that ref accountable IMO. It just all seemed very odd.”
