The Minnesota Vikings had to deal with more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
First, let’s make it very clear that the main reason the Minnesota Vikings lost to Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday was not the sports authorities. The Vikings made a lot of mistakes and it was very hard to overcome.
However, the tips on the field for the match did not make it easier for Minnesota to try to beat the Bucks.
Following some calls made by the referees on Sunday, is it entirely fair to wonder if some of these decisions were made to give Tampa Bay a better chance of leaving the field with victory?
Did the Refs cost the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the Minnesota Vikings?
By looking at the box score, one can easily rule out the possibility of Bucks getting help from the sports authorities after seeing that both teams in the match ended the day with (five) identical penalties.
Tampa Bay was flagged for defensive capture, horse collar prevention, a false start and two offsides jumps. Bucks’ five penalties were enough to give the Vikings 34 yards.
However, Tampa made a number of personal mistakes that were not fined by sports officials on Sunday. No flags were raised when Minnesota’s Chad Beepe won late in the first quarter after being tackled on a punt return. Feet on the head Presented to Kirk Cousins in the fourth quarter.
Instead, the Refs decided to fine Vikings defender Harrison Smith for hitting him with a helmet-to-helmet, which he clearly guided over the shoulder, and only interacted with the bucks helmet running behind Lease McCoy after McCoy lowered his head.
After a few plays, Sunday sports officials threw a flag for defensive pass interception in Minnesota cornerback Jeff Clatney, then Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans slipped on his own and failed to come up with a touchdown catch. Gladney actually brought an interruption to the play, but it was denied due to a bass interruption call.
Even before the end of the first half things were very interesting (and questionable). In the final game of the second quarter, Bucks quarterback Tom Brady threw a Hail Marie into the final zone, causing it to make an incomplete pass.
However, the Refs decided to penalize the Vikings for a terrible defensive pass interception call in the final zone and Tampa Bay was injured when he kicked a goal from one side of Minnesota. This is the first time Since 2009 An attack or defensive pass interception is called for in the Hail Mary Pass. How convenient.
Two officers were in the final zone In play Also threw the flag, he was too far away from the action, while the officer who was close ruled that the pass was incomplete.
People are free to interpret Sunday events as they wish. In a year when the NFL will lose millions of people to the COVID-19 epidemic, it is crazy to think that the league will ensure that the TV rating machine Brady and Bucks gets a place in the playoffs. Relatives and Vikings?
It must have been a coincidence that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell attended Sunday’s game in Tampa, right?
