Every week of the 2023 season there has been a controversial penalty or penalties by refs that have had fans scratching their heads.
Another one happened this past Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
During a long gain by the Los Angeles Rams against the Cleveland Browns, the home crowd was going nuts as they went from one side of the field to close to their red zone. However, the excitement was short-lived.
After the play was well over, a referee would then put a penalty flag on the Rams and the players would make their way right back where they originally came from minus more yards after the penalty.
One post online wanted the ref investigated for his actions.

The holding call came at a crucial time in the fourth quarter and it negated what would have been a 45-yard run from wide receiver Puka Nacua. The Rams would be forced to punt on that series while leading 20-19 at the time.
Despite the penalty, the Rams would go on to win and are now 6-6 and have a legitimate chance to get into the playoffs. They’ve ripped off a three-game winning streak to get back to .500 after that 36-19 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon.
It’s their second straight victory by at least two touchdowns, making a statement to the rest of the league.
