Josh Norman: Ref ‘Sucked,’ ‘I Feel Like He Should Be Reprimanded’
On his second attempt, Hopkins was wide left. He was awful and I feel he like should be reprimanded.
No word on if the National Football League will change that tie to an L for the Redskins after this ridiculous statement from Gruden. We’re not going to concede anything. But yet, every time I touched (Green), he knocked the hands up into him. “They know we do this”. Cincinnati is 3-4-1. Got separation from the DB.We were in field goal range. Hopkins hit field goals of 20 and 40 yards, but missed from 34 and 55 – and he was still the better kicker on the field.
For the first time since 1997 the National Football League has two ties in one season. Not to be out done, Jamison Crowder continued his hot-start catching 9-passes while going for 107-yards and a touchdown.
The Bengals then marched 75 yards in six plays to set up Jeremy Hill for a one-yard run. Derek Carr threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Seth Roberts with 1:45 remaining in overtime to secure the win.
Norman was hit with four hands-to-the-face penalties and a pass interference in Sunday’s 27-27 sister-kisser against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Other Redskins players directed their ire at the game’s officials, who called 15 penalties against Washington and just seven against Cincinnati.
That led to an angry outburst after the game where Norman directed a personal insult at side judge Brad Freeman, who made most of those calls. I’m to going to be straightforward. “I’m just gonna be honest with you”. There was a case for Cincinnati to try a play from the two-yard line to get two extra points, but they went for Nugent’s kick, so the score was 27-24 to the Bengals. Norman also was upset that he was chosen for a random drug test after the Redskins’ first two home games. Washington out-gained the Bengals 546-yards to 415-yards. The Bengals tied the Eagles in 2008, the Panthers in 2014 and on Sunday in the team’s first ever game in London, the Bengals recorded yet another tie with the Redskins. It was Dalton’s first interception since Week 3.
“It definitely feels more like a loss than a win, because we moved the ball so well and had so many opportunities to win”, Cousins said. In the third quarter we felt like we were rolling we’re thinking we had (Tyler) Eifert back and we were rolling. Tight end Vernon Davis hauled in five receptions for 93 yards. Jordy Nelson once again the receiver but this time juggling the ball as he falls just short of the 30 yard line.
After Phillips left Sunday’s game, linebackers coach Reggie Herring took over the defensive play-calling duties.
Three plays later, Cousins found Reed along the sideline. The officials were unavailable for comment; requests for them, typically done over a controversial call, must be made before the end of the game.
Washington outgained Cincinnati 226 yards to 82 in the first half but led only 10-7 after scoring one touchdown in three trips inside the red zone. He returned against Cleveland and was in for only 15 plays.
Hopkins, whose first overtime attempt sailed smoothly through the uprights but was negated by a last-second Bengals timeout, appeared calm and unruffled in the locker room. Kelley finished with 87 yards on 21 carries. Green had nine catches for 121 yards.
On the Redskins’ next drive, as they faced third-and-goal from the five, LB Karlos Dansby stopped Washington RB Chris Thompson at the two, forcing a Washington field goal. What are your thoughts on the NFL’s overtime rules and games ending in ties. Redskins S Duke Ihenacho left the game with a concussion in overtime.
One person who’s not happy about the waste of a trip: Washington cornerback Josh Norman.
