LANDOVER — Clay Matthews doesn’t know what more he can do.
For the second straight week, the Green Bay Packers linebacker was called for a controversial roughing the passer penalty. This year, NFL officials have put an emphasis on prohibiting defenders from putting all, or most, of their body weight on quarterbacks.
And after the Redskins’ 31-17 win over the Green Bay Packers, referee Craig Wrolstad defended his call, which happened in the third quarter.
But others came to Matthews‘ defense — including the guy who was drilled on the hit.
