NFL Fans Screaming #Rigged After a CLOSE Look at THIS VIDEO!

IS is possible there is something bigger going on here that a blind ref? Check out my Facebook post.

Should this have been 

Personal Foul

Illegal use of the Helment

Pass Interference

or ALL THREE?

Does anyone else think it's suspicious that TWO REFS could be THIS close to this play and see no foul???

What I think is VERY Shady ....is that SJ Ref #60 is clearly seen waving off the other ref, stopping him from talking with Lewis, who was obviously questioning the lack a flags being thrown. That looks to me like #60 had his mind made up and didn't even want to consider another opinion of what just happened.

If there more to this than just the refs interpretation of what happened? Hmmmmmmm. No wonder lots of people are screaming #RIGGED

take a look at the rules as stated in the NFL Rulebook

1- Illegal Use of the Helmet?

NFL Rule Book

ARTICLE 8. USE OF THE HELMETIt is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.

Note: The tackle box no longer exists once the ball leaves the tackle box.

Penalty: Loss of 15 yards. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down. The player may be disqualified.

2-Pass interference

NFL Rule BookSECTION 5 - PASS INTERFERENCEARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONIt is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player’s opportunity to catch the ball. Pass interference can only occur when a forward pass is thrown from behind the line of scrimmage, regardless of whether the pass is legal or illegal, or whether it crosses the line.

Defensive pass interference rules apply from the time the ball is thrown until the ball is touched. See Article 2 for prohibited acts while the ball is in the air.

ARTICLE 2. PROHIBITED ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIRActs that are pass interference include, but are not limited to:

(a) Contact by a player who is not playing the ball that restricts the opponent’s opportunity to make the catch.(b) Playing through the back of an opponent in an attempt to make a play on the ball.(c) Grabbing an opponent’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass.(d) Extending an arm across the body of an opponent, thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, and regardless of whether the player committing such act is playing the ball.(e) Cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball.(f) Hooking an opponent in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the opponent’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving.(g) Initiating contact with an opponent by shoving or pushing off, thus creating separation.Note: If there is any question whether player contact is incidental, the ruling should be no interference.

ARTICLE 3. PERMISSIBLE ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIRActs that are permissible by a player include, but are not limited to:

Incidental contact by an opponent’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball, or neither player is looking for the ball. If there is any question whether contact is incidental, the ruling shall be no interference.Inadvertent tangling of feet when both players are playing the ball or neither player is playing the ball.Contact that would normally be considered pass interference, but the pass is clearly uncatchable by the involved players, except as specified in 8-3-2 and 8-5-4 pertaining to blocking downfield by the offense.Laying a hand on an opponent that does not restrict him in an attempt to make a play on the ball.Contact by a player who has gained position on an opponent in an attempt to catch the ball.Notes

1) When the ball is in the air, eligible offensive and defensive receivers have the same right to the path of the ball and are subject to the same restrictions.

2) Acts that do not occur more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage are not pass interference, but could be offensive or defensive holding (see 12-1-3 and 12-1-6).

3) Whenever a team presents an apparent punting formation and until the ball is kicked, defensive acts that normally constitute pass interference are permitted against the end man on the line of scrimmage, or against an eligible receiver behind the line of scrimmage who is aligned or in motion more than one yard outside the end man on the line, provided that the acts do not constitute illegal holding. Defensive holding, such as tackling a receiver, still can be called and result in a five-yard penalty from the previous spot, if accepted. Offensive pass interference rules still apply.
