It remains one of the biggest misses when it comes to penalties maybe of all-time in the NFL, or at least of this season, as the league botched a call Sunday that to this day is hard to believe.
The call (of course) took place in the fourth quarter of the Browns eventual 26-23 loss to the Buccaneers, when rookie QB Baker Mayfield was slammed with a helmet to helmet hit by Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead at the end of his 35-yard run.
ESPN’s Pat McManamon reported late Tuesday night that the league knows they screwed up, and that Whitehead could have and should have been flagged on the play.
