Many fans were upset that no pass interference penalty was called on a big play during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md.
The Ravens were working on a long drive while down 17-7 to KC midway through the fourth quarter. They had a 2nd-and-10 at the Chiefs’ 25-yard line, and Lamar Jackson threw toward the end zone for Isaiah Likely. Jackson was throwing into triple coverage, and the decision looked even worse after Likely was shoved in the back, rendering him unable to attempt to knock the ball down. Instead, Jackson’s pass was intercepted by Deon Bush.

Fans couldn’t believe no pass interference was called.
Also – that’s 100% pass interference on Likely.
I don’t care how bad of a decision it was. He got tackled by 2 people.

The amount of pass interference calls not being called on the Kansas City Chiefs is insane. Since when can you shove a receiver before they’ve touched the ball?

Fans were also upset that no pass interference was called on some other pass attempts on the same drive.

Throwing that pass was a bad decision by Jackson, but maybe that ball gets knocked down if Likely weren’t shoved in the back.
