There were 20 accepted penalties in the Denver Broncos game last Sunday. Despite the relatively high level of flags, the officials were definitely not the story in the Broncos big win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Poor Announcing
Jonathon Cooper almost earned a safety for sacking Aiden O’Connell near the end of the game, but O’Connell intentionally grounded the ball. Sean Payton challenged that the spot was outside of the endzone. This challenge was not overturned, and I agreed with the call. What I did not agree with was the explanation from Dean Blandino.
