Fans Frustrated with NFL Rule Change After Controversial Interception

Ravens' Pick-Six Overturned, Sparking Outcry

The NFL's recent rule change regarding interceptions has come under fire after a controversial call in the Baltimore Ravens' game against the Buffalo Bills. With just over two minutes remaining in the game and the Ravens trailing by two points, cornerback Marlon Humphrey intercepted a Josh Allen pass and returned it for a touchdown. However, the touchdown was overturned upon review, as the officials ruled that Allen's arm was moving forward when the ball was thrown, making it an incomplete pass.

Fans Express Outrage on Social Media

The decision sparked immediate outrage on social media, with many fans and analysts criticizing the rule change. They argue that the new rule gives quarterbacks too much protection and takes away from the excitement of the game. Some fans even went so far as to call for the rule to be repealed.

Experts Weigh In on Controversial Call

Experts in the field of football officiating have also expressed their concerns about the new rule. Former NFL referee Mike Pereira said that the rule change "goes against the grain of what we've been taught for years." He believes that the officials made the wrong call in the Ravens-Bills game and that the interception should have been upheld.

NFL Defends Rule Change

The NFL has defended the rule change, saying that it was made in an effort to protect quarterbacks from unnecessary hits. The league believes that the new rule will make the game safer for players and prevent serious injuries.
