The referees in Sunday night’s Green Bay Packers-Tennessee Titans badly missed a call on a long Aaron Jones run in the third quarter.
The Packers were leading 19-14 in the third quarter and had a 1st-and-10 at their 34. They handed the ball off to Jones, who rushed 59 yards to the Tennessee 7.
Tennessee misses a challenge on this Aaron Jones run – and it's a big one.

Replays (and the naked eye) showed that Jones stepped out of bounds well before getting to the red zone.
Vrabel should have challenged but you won’t find a ref with a better view and a more perfect angle to see him step out of bounds yet ignore it pic.twitter.com/owtSrUwEcp

The Titans didn’t realize Jones was out of bounds and did not challenge the call. And side judge Clay Reynard somehow missed that Jones was out of bounds despite looking directly at the running back. Maybe the snow on the field made it tough for him to see.
