Jason Witten: Roughing-the-Passer Flags Have Gone to the Left Wing

“They’ve just gone too far with that rule,” Witten said. “I knew they wanted to make it about the health and safety and protect these quarterbacks. It just seems that we just went a little to the left wing on that, you know, with our approach.”

Yes, the calls have been a bit too liberal for most people’s enjoyment, regardless of political affiliation. If there’s a uniting issue in this country, it’s that there are too many yellow flags in NFL games.

More of this wordsmith stuff from Witten would be a good thing.

UPDATE: ESPN says the comment has nothing to do with politics.
