Ravens Feel NFL Was ‘Trying To Make An Example’ Of Them With Strict Penalty Calls

The NFL season has officially started, and there’s already some controversy surrounding the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs barely held the Ravens off in an incredible first game of the season, but it was not without its flaws. The most notable issue was the number of illegal formation penalties called. Based on some comments from Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley, it seems Baltimore isn’t too happy with the way the referees were calling the game.

“I really feel like they were trying to make an example and chose me to be the one to do that,” Stanley told reporters after the Ravens’ 27-20 loss via the team’s website.
