NFL fans have had it up to here with the officiating this season and were calling for the referees who worked Sunday’s game between the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles to be suspended.
The Commanders claimed an important win on the day, clinching a 10th victory with a late 36-33 result on a last-ditch touchdown. However, fans were upset as it appeared that the refs missed a blatant false start on the play, which ended up being the dagger for Washington as they went ahead with the TD.
Washington’s right tackle moved before the ball was snapped, but NFL refs are told to cut linemen a little slack in such cases, which is why FOX’s Greg Olsen thought it was a good no-call.

NFL Fans Didn’t Agree With Olsen’s Take On The Lack Of A Flag For The Washington Commanders
Fans on social media did not agree with Olsen and felt like the Eagles were robbed on the play.
“THE REFS MISSED AN OBVIOUS FALSE START ON THE #COMMANDERS TACKLE ON THEIR GAME-WINNING PLAY,” MLFootball noted.
“That’s the most obvious false start I’ve ever seen,” another account declared.
“Pretty clear false start on the right tackle,” said another.
“MISSED a False start by the Right Tackle on that Commanders go-ahead TD. Wow. Bad miss too,” a fourth wrote.
“How can the refs miss this false start on the commanders also fire that announcer it’s not an impressive win considering hurts was out by a dirty hit by Luvu and he should’ve been ejected for that,” a fan suggested.
The loss was significant for Philly, as they failed to clinch the NFC East and blew a chance to snatch the No. 1 seed.
The Washington Commanders, on the other hand, have kept their playoff hopes alive.
