Referees play an important role in the NFL, but these same referees are the ones who have sidelined a few teams. Here are the six NFL teams who have had really bad luck with referees. [{ "selector": ".ejfmo-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".zozww-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-3.29em)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(138)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".gydfw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(321)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Cincinnati Bengals

[{ "selector": ".sphae-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

The Bengals are no strangers to pivotal calls against them. Recently while playing against the Jets they had a helmet to helmet call. It was just that the tackler was at knee height and Tyler Johnson simply lowered his head which led to crashing of both the opponents. [{ "selector": ".iasdk-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(446)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Kansas City Chiefs

[{ "selector": ".yljne-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

They have been in a long running war with the referees. After the debacle in the 2021 Super Bowl matchup when they had a holding penalty on Charvarius Ward, even the fans gave up hope.

Pittsburgh Steelers

[{ "selector": ".dlufz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

Some people may think that the Steelers are NFL's crown jewel franchise, but in reality they have had their bad times as well. They have had a rough passer against the Lions and in an instance Genes Territory admitted that the Steelers had complete administrative breakdown by the officials which resulted in a stopped clock for a while. [{ "selector": ".iibdy-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(100%)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(400)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Cleveland Browns

[{ "selector": ".iksye-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

It is believed that the Browns have been treated too harshly by the referees. Some even say that the Cleveland Browns are consistently on the wrong side of the referees.

Buffalo Bills

[{ "selector": ".rjide-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

They have had Ed Oliver for roughing the passer for making a shoestring tackle. But sometimes the refs even tried not to stop the clock when the Bills tried to tie a game in Foxborough .

Dallas Cowboys

[{ "selector": ".uxhhc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }]

The fans of the Cowboys feel persecuted by the referees. But if you see the story from the referees point of view they have already turned their backs on Dallas.
