The Washington Commanders faced a controversial roughing the passer call against the New England Patriots on Sunday, leaving the NFL world confused. Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was preparing to pass when Commanders defensive end K.J. Henry tackled him, believing it was his first career sack. However, Henry was penalized for roughing the passer. Many were perplexed by the call, with FOX commentator Jonathan Vilma questioning it during the broadcast replay. The NFL community was shocked by the decision, considering it a normal tackle. Analysts and insiders expressed their disbelief and criticized the call, calling it the worst roughing call they had ever seen. Referee Adrian Hill explained that the call was made due to full body weight on the hit, suggesting that the defender needed to perform certain techniques to avoid the penalty.
