Chris Jones gets robbed of strip sack by crazy officials

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones was robbed of a strip sack of Derek Carr by the most ridiculous call by the officials in Week 5.

We wouldn’t blame you if you threw a few things around your house or at least woke up some of your neighbors by yelling on Monday night. That’s because the officials made several ridiculous calls against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 including one that robbed defensive lineman Chris Jones of a strip sack against Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders are visiting the Chiefs in Week 5 and are currently up by multiple possessions on the road in primetime. They deserve plenty of credit for that, despite some weird officiating against the home team, because they clearly came to play. Until the second quarter, the Chiefs looked completely uninspired and the Raiders were physical and owning the trenches on both sides of the ball.

However, just before halftime, things got insane when Jones was able to finally collapse on Carr with a stellar move and display of strength and athleticism. The result was a strip sack and a key turnover that would have given the Chiefs the ball before halftime at a key point. it also would have kept the Raiders from adding to their lead with a field goal before heading to the locker rooms.

Instead, the refs conspired together and ended up calling Jones for a roughing the passer penalty for coming down on Carr with all of this weight instead of giving him credit for the sack and coming up with the ball at the same time.

What is Jones supposed to do there? What sort of move can be possibly made to still get the sack, the fumble recovery, and somehow avert any contact with Carr while falling? Andy Reid was wondering himself.

The officials are just asinine here with their expectations and it was maddening for Chiefs Kingdom watching the game.
