Giants’ Adoree’ Jackson rips official for momentum-turning penalty call: ‘Needs to be fined’
NY Post
No eye contact, no illegal contact.
Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was penalized Sunday for a controversial 36-yard pass interference penalty that erased a third-down stop and turned momentum by setting up the Vikings to score a go-ahead touchdown in their 28-6 victory.
Was it a bad call? Should it actually have been offensive pass interference against receiver Jordan Addison, who seemed to initiate contact by jumping onto Jackson’s back to get to an underthrown pass by Sam Darnold?
“He knows it,” Jackson said. “When I say ‘he,’ the ref. That’s why he wouldn’t look at me, wouldn’t talk to me. You saw Addison almost pull my damn helmet off. I turned and looked for the ball. I can’t do anything about it.”
Jackson’s penalty — one of nine for 95 yards against the Giants — converted a third-and-8. Three plays later, the Vikings scored to take a 7-3 lead.
“The ref is sorry,” Jackson said. “He can hear me say that. He needs to be fined just like they fine us on different things. That was a BS call. He knows it. I wouldn’t look at me either if I knew I made a bad call.
