Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy took to social media to express his displeasure with the officiating during Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Van Noy was baffled by a no-call on a play where he believes the Cowboys should have been penalized for intentional grounding in their own endzone, resulting in a safety. The linebacker sarcastically questioned the rules, implying that quarterbacks can simply pass the ball to an offensive lineman to avoid being flagged for intentional grounding in such situations.

Deep in their own territory, the Cowboys faced a critical 3rd and 10 situation. Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike blew past Cowboys right tackle Terence Steele, setting his sights on quarterback Dak Prescott.

Just as Madubuike was about to bring Prescott down for a safety, Prescott managed to shovel the ball to left guard Tyler Smith. Surprisingly, instead of flagging Dallas for intentional grounding, which would have resulted in a safety, the referees threw a flag for illegal touching on Smith.

The Ravens declined the penalty, and the Cowboys were forced to punt. The no-call on intentional grounding left many scratching their heads.

A controversial roughing the passer penalty negated a potential game-changing play late in the fourth quarter. With just over three and a half minutes remaining and Baltimore clinging to a three-point advantage, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott was hit by Ravens linebacker Odafe Oweh while throwing. The officials deemed Oweh’s contact excessive, awarding the Cowboys a first down and extending their drive.

Despite a late surge that brought them within three points with minutes remaining, the Dallas Cowboys left the field facing questions about a controversial roughing the passer penalty. The flag, thrown against outside linebacker Odafe Oweh, negated a sack that would have forced the opposing team to settle for a field goal.

Oweh was visibly frustrated with the call, suggesting that the officiating crew seemed overly sensitive to contact on the quarterback throughout the game. He maintained his composure, stating his intention to review the play and strive for cleaner tackles in the future, while acknowledging the possibility of a fine.
