Buffoon of the Week

There were honestly way too many options for this week with all of the terrible refereeing in the NFL. I decided to take an instance that will go almost unnoticed because of worse calls.

(Associated Press)

The replacement referees in the Titans vs. Lions game completely blew a call that just so happened to be in overtime. A helmet to helmet hit on the Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch resulted in a 15 yard penalty that should have moved the spot of the ball to the Titans 44 yard line. Instead of spotting the ball on the Titans 44, the refs placed the ball on the Lions 44 and moved the Titans that much closer to the eventual spot of their 26 yard field goal. So, the referees gave the Titans an extra 12 yards and a chip shot of a field goal, which was the only points put up in OT.

Thats what you do if you want to end up as the buffoon of the week.
