After Further Review: Denver Broncos vs Cleveland Browns

There were nine accepted penalties and no challenges in the Denver Broncos exciting win over the Cleveland Browns. The officials missed some big calls along the way however.

Roughing the Passer

Jonathon Cooper was not flagged for roughing the passer on a fourth quarter Nik Bonitto sack where he clearly should have been flagged. This play was officiated poorly in several ways. There is serious judgement to be made about when a quarterback (or other player) is in the grasp of a tackler, meaning that their forward momentum has stopped and thus by rule they are down.
