With Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs Embroiled in Roughing the Passer Penalty Controversies, Billionaire Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Offers His Two Cents on the Matter: “Those Are Sensitive Areas and You Got to Watch That”

The term found more relevance after none other than Tom Brady got involved in a similar incident on-field. Even the Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes got tangled on the receiving end. The billionaire owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, has things to say on this issue.

Jerry Jones discussed various topics in a radio interview before the match vs the Eagles. The discussion covered topics ranging from the resurgence of the NFC East to the referring decisions in the league in recent times. However, his insight about the duels on-field remained a major part of the conversation.

“No mandate, nothing that I’m aware of that goes to the clubs. I think you got an area that gives rise to some judgment when you say that the players, the defender as well as the quarterback, land on the ground. If the defender happens to be in position…to push him against the ground,…the league does not want you to pin…let those 300 pounds or 250 or whatever go into the quarterback. That’s when you get your shoulders and your separations…even your rib injuries. I think that is, at this day and time, I think those are sensitive areas and you got to watch that.”, said Jones on the relationship.

The background behind the drama regarding the referee’s decision

Week 5 saw two controversial penalizing happen at the NFL. The first incident happened on Sunday Night Football as the Bucs met the Falcons. The second incident happened on Monday Night Football in the match between the Chiefs and the Raiders.

In the first incident, the Falcons’ defensive end, Grady Jarrett got penalized for sacking Brady. Meanwhile, in the second case, the Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones brought the Raiders‘ QB, Derek Carr, down. However, to everyone’s surprise, the referee flagged Jones.

These incidents have created a major uproar among the NFL community. Most of them consider the penalties as too soft and overprotective of the quarterbacks, both fans and the players. The audience will look forward to any right solution provided by the authority.
