Cincinnati Bengals defensive back DJ Turner, a second-round pick of the team earlier this year, was flagged for pass interference late in the first half of the team's NFL Week 11 Thursday Night Football game at M&T Bank Stadium as he defended Baltimore Ravens receiver Zay Flowers, and there were plenty of social media reactions to the call.

Prime Video analyst Kirk Herbstreit was among those in disagreement with the call.

"I don't see anything (there). I don't know how you call that," Herbstreit said during the broadcast. "This is a phantom call. I'm not sure how they called this one on Turner. I don't see any contact there at all."

Turner got up slowly after defending a pass near the end of the third quarter, but walked to the sideline without assistance.
