Football fans are calling for the NFL to investigate the officials after a controversial ending in the Cleveland Browns-Indianapolis Colts game.

The Browns were the beneficiary of two late calls on their game-winning drive. First, Darrell Baker Jr. was penalized for illegal contact on Amari Cooper which nullified a game-sealing strip sack off P.J. Walker.

On the next play, Baker Jr. was again penalized for defensive pass interference on Donovan Peoples-Jones. The Browns got the ball from the one-yard line, and running back Kareem Hunt reached the end zone on fourth-and-goal for the game-winning TD.

Was this ball uncatchable or should it have been pass interference on the Colts? pic.twitter.com/W1VpEuJOUf

These mind-boggling calls by the officials left countless fans frustrated. Many of them even called for the league to investigate Shawn Smith’s crew after the contest:

@NFL @NFLOfficiating The Colts game was either fixed or the NFL has the most incompetent officials of any sport. What a joke. I would investigate refs for online gambling or gambling receipts. It was that bad
