So this happened in last night’s Monday Night Football game:
Richard Sherman defends hit on Dan Carpenter: "He should've not kicked it" #bills #seahawks https://t.co/u3tCJxJ5B2 https://t.co/T26kybHNat

Richard Sherman was clearly offsides there. He also clearly roughed the kicker. However, the only penalty that was called was offsides. How in the world they didn’t call Sherman for roughing the kicker and/or a personal foul is mind boggling.
[UPDATE]- My referee “friend” let me know that you can’t have roughing the kicker without a legal kick. He is such a nerd.
As you might imagine, Bills fans were pretty upset about this, but none of them matched the anger of Bills’ kicker Dan Carpenter’s wife, Kaela:
