Referee Misses Clear Holding On Chiefs, Calls Dolphins For Egregious Roughing The Passer Penalty

And there it is — the referees have made their impactful play of the day.

During the 4th quarter of Sunday’s Dolphins-Chiefs game, the Miami Dolphins were called for an egregious roughing the passer penalty on 3rd down. The penalty was crucial as it gave the Chiefs a first-down rather than forcing them to attempt a long field goal.

It also didn’t help that the referee missed a clear holding penalty on No. 79, Donovan Smith.

The Chiefs are on their way to a win, leading 26-7 in the 4th quarter.
