Sherman on refs: 'They have no idea how it works'

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman continued his criticism of NFL officiating Wednesday, pointing to confusion among referees during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In the second quarter, tight end Luke Stocker was called for holding in the Bucs' end zone while quarterback Jameis Winston had the ball. The officials did not initially rule a safety, but after Pete Carroll challenged the call, the Seahawks were awarded two points.

"So many nuanced rules that the refs don't even know half the time, because most of the refs on that play didn't know we could challenge the play," Sherman said.
