Troy Aikman disagrees with roughing-the-passer call against Ravens for hit on Andy Dalton

NFL Network color analyst Troy Aikman didn't like the roughing-the-passer penalty called against the Baltimore Ravens when Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was pushed by Matt Judon after Dalton released an incomplete pass to Joe Mixon during the second quarter on Thursday night.

The 15-yard penalty on the first-down play was enforced at the Bengals' 22.

"If this offensive line can't protect Andy Dalton, (official) Walt Anderson certainly will," Aikman insisted.

The drive resulted in a touchdown pass from Dalton to Tyler Boyd to give the Bengals a 28-7 lead.

On Wednesday, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck said he felt like he'd been in a car wreck following hits he took in Week 1 against the Bengals.
