Questionable Referee Calls Hurt Ravens

There were many factors that played into the Ravens’ loss to the Cardinals on Monday Night Football, including quarterback Joe Flacco’s game-sealing interception.

But some other factors included three questionable calls by the referees.

Perhaps the most damaging questionable call gave Cardinals running back Chris Johnson a 62-yard gain, putting Arizona in field-goal range to take a 20-10 lead late in the third quarter.

Defensive tackle Brandon Williams tackled Johnson for a short gain, but Johnson landed in Williams’ lap as he went to the turf. Neither Johnson’s knee, nor hip, was ever down.
