Thursday Night Football between the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts saw a lot of flags and unusual moves by the officials in what was otherwise a pretty boring game.
Officiating Non-Impactful Penalties
On the second play of the game, Denver DL Dre’Mont Jones lined up offsides. Officials can handle this type of foul in a number of ways, but almost all competent officials will either talk to the player after the play, or talk to a coach. In this case, I would guess they talked to a coach because the official positioned to see the foul is the Line Judge / Down Judge, who is on the sideline, and they can easily have a quick chat with the coach.
