You don’t need us to tell you that officiating has been… HIGHLY uneven in the NFL this season, and that is continuing into the playoffs. Shawn Hochuli, the son of legendarily jacked referee Ed Hochuli, seems to share his dad’s penchant for camera time in crucial situations, and this manifested itself in a rather odd penalty with 10:39 left in the first half of the Buccaneers-Rams divisional round game.
Tom Brady was rather unhappy about a hit from Rams edge-rusher Von Miller that drew blood from Brady’s lip, Brady barked about it, and the younger Hochuli gave Brady the first unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of his 22-year NFL career.
