Apparently talking to National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t help referees do a better job at catching illegal hits on Carolina Panthers quarterback, Cam Newton. Head coach Ron Rivera is claiming that referees missed an illegal hit on Newton during the team’s win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9.
Newton has been very vocal about what he perceives as a lack of fairness in regards to the level of hits he has been taking without getting a flag this season and during his career. The Panthers signal-caller has been adamant about referees getting calls right, which he is often on the wrong side of.
