Michael Strahan Tears Into Refs Over Weak Roughing the Passer Call on Lamar Jackson

The Ravens traveled to Minnesota to take on the Vikings this week. It was a fairly quiet first half for both sides and the Vikings entered the locker room with a 10-9 lead. But the deficit could have been larger if not for a weak roughing the passer penalty called on Minnesota’s Dallas Turner after sacking Lamar Jackson.

Following a Vikings field goal, the Ravens got the ball back with 30 seconds to go in the first half at their own 25-yard line. Jackson completed two quick passes to get Baltimore to Minnesota’s 25-yard line. Then Jackson got absolutely planted by Turner for what would have been a loss of 10 yards. The Ravens had one timeout remaining to stop the clock at 10 seconds—but the roughing the passer call set them up with the ball at the Vikings’ 12-yard line. Kicker Tyler Loop then knocked in the easy field goal and the half was over.
