Washington cornerback Josh Norman was furious with the officiating in Sunday’s 27-27 tie against the Cincinnati Bengals. So furious, in fact, that he wants the referee to see repercussions from it.
Norman evidently felt that the contest in London was officiated too tightly and called out one of the referees for it.
Norman: "Who is official 88? I've gotta know. You suck. I'm just putting it out there." Goes on long list of questionable calls.

Norman: "we play a physical game, they know that.We come here international game, it all goes out the window. …he needs to be reprimanded"

According to the NFL’s officiating roster, that official would be Brad Freeman.
Norman always has a lot to say about the NFL, and its officials are not exempt from his anger. You can understand his frustration. His team traveled all the way to London to play out a tie in a game that saw Washington flagged 15 times – eight more penalties than their opponents took.
