Fans aren’t happy about overzealous foul that erased Saints interception, led to Titans TD
The NFL’s overzealous officiating has struck again. Veteran referee Jerome Boger took away Marcus Williams’ extremely clutch end zone interception of Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill by claiming that New Orleans Saints linebacker Kaden Elliss committed a personal foul in roughing the passer, which both kept the ball in Tennessee possession and helped move them up into scoring position. A few plays later Tannehill dove into the end zone to put his team ahead.
It was, well, controversial to say the least. CBS rules expert Gene Steratore said on the game broadcast that no penalty should have been called; Elliss should have tried to atomize himself and teleport through Tannehill rather than collide with him incidentally, I guess. And NFL fans on social media weren’t happy with the game-changing decision:
Horse crap roughing the passer call on the Saints that took an interception off the board. The NFL has an officiating crisis.

#Saints just had a huge redzone INT… but it was called back because this was called roughing the passer.

Tannehill running from 1 yard is nice but he has to do better passing the ball is decision making this year is terrible. Jerome Boger bailed him out #NOvsTEN

Jerome Boger grew out his cool beard and now wants to show it off at every opportunity. I respect it.

Jerome Boger's crew is consistently the worst.
Almost at the point where you have to see which game he's reffing and just cross it off at the beginning of the week. Totally incompetent.

One of the softest roughing the passer calls you'll see on Ryan Tannehill just now. Jerome Boger's crew up to their old tricks again.

All that's missing is for Jerome Boger to hip check a player.
Unbelievable display. https://t.co/Y2wXU30UR2

FYI @NFLOfficiating Jerome Boger is still terrible. Just wanted to make sure y’all knew.

No NFL official is mentioned more on Twitter during the season than Jerome Boger.
Probably because he's doing an excellent job throwing 25 flags a game.

Titans benefitting from a critical Jerome Boger call is not something I expected to see today.

Jerome Boger really stepping up and taking control of the game.
