Bears Defeat Jaguars in London Amid NFL Controversy

The Buffalo Bills' 23-20 victory over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football was overshadowed by a controversial display of officiating, with referees issuing a staggering 22 penalties throughout the game. This excessive flagging, which significantly influenced the game's outcome, drew widespread criticism from fans and commentators alike, who highlighted inconsistencies and questionable calls, such as roughing the passer penalties. The penalties resulted in a combined 204 yards lost for both teams, marking a league-high for the season. The officiating crisis has become a pressing issue for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who had previously managed to sidestep such controversies. In contrast, the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants game was criticized for its lack of excitement and low scoring, further frustrating fans. Meanwhile, the Jaguars suffered a humiliating 35-16 defeat to the Bears in London, raising concerns about head coach Doug Pederson's job security.
