The refs have been an absolute disaster all around. Some teams have gotten extra timeouts others have been granted bullcrap challenges. John Harbaugh conned the refs into giving him a bogus measurement in order to get more time to see replays and decide whether to challenge a spot. Then they reversed the spot when there didn't seem to be sufficient evidence (due to the camera angle) to justify the reversal. The Redskins were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct when virtually the entire Bengals team was on the field and somehow a 15 yard penalty turned into a 20 yard penalty. In the Detroit/Tennessee game a 15 yard personal foul turned into a 27 yard penalty because the refs measured the penalty from the Lions 44 yard line instead of the Titans 44 yard line!
