The Washington Commanders pretty much got screwed by the refs on Sunday night.
Late in the fourth quarter of the Commanders-Giants game, Giants Darnay Holmes was seen holding Curtis Samuel several on an incomplete pass on 4th down while the Commanders were down 8 points.

NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay says refs missed a DPI on Curtis Samuel:
“This is defensive pass interference … it’s always a foul and should have been called.” pic.twitter.com/8teYF6UBxd

The pass interference went on to cost the Commanders the game and fans blasted the refs after the game.

Sick and tired of refs deciding games. Clean it up Nfl.

These refs should never work another game again. Samuel was literally mugged on that play.

Not a great look for #NFL refs. On a pretty awful weekend for officiating, this is essentially deciding the outcome by leaving the flag in your pocket. pic.twitter.com/iFQirAOACC

I've accepted that the NFL is sports entertainment. The refs see everything but they call whatever they want to call for better or for worse. If you're betting on this sport, you just gotta hope you're on the right side of it.
