NFL Officiating Twitter Account Explains Controversial Call in Bears vs. Vikings

Monday night's NFC North matchup between the Bears and Vikings featured a number of questionable officiating calls, the most notable of which occurred in the third quarter of Minnesota's 17-9 victory.

Chicago cornerback Teez Tabor was flagged for an illegal low block as he attempted to tackle Vikings running back Dalvin Cook. Tabor's dive on the tackle is something you see most weeks in the NFL, and he was understandably frustrated when the call gave Minnesota a first down.

The flag against Tabor drew plenty of criticism on Twitter throughout Monday evening. The NFL's officiating account weighed in on the play shortly after the conclusion of the contest.
