The NFL plans to discuss roughing-the-passer penalties amid outrage over two disputed calls in Week 5, but a rule change is not expected this season.
Protecting quarterbacks is a priority for owners, who pay big bucks for the face of their franchise. Twenty-five QBs are making at least $25 million this season.
The Chiefs had just scored to trim their deficit to 17-7 when Jones stripped Raiders quarterback Derek Carr from behind just before halftime. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle landed on Carr while also coming up with the ball — replays showed it was clearly loose and that Jones cleanly recovered — but referee Carl Cheffers threw a flag for roughing the passer.
On Sunday, Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett was flagged by referee Jerome Boger for a seemingly harmless sack on Tom Brady. The penalty gave the Buccaneers a first down and allowed them to run out the clock on a 21-15 victory.
