Replay Footage Shows Panthers Got Screwed After Refs Allowed Cleveland Browns To Spike Football (VIDEO)

Baker Mayfield did not get his revenge on Sunday, but he should’ve gotten it if the refs had done their job.

With less than 20 seconds to play in regulation, the Browns would fake a spike and then actually spiked the ball. That is against NFL rules and the refs did nothng about it.

The Browns would go on to kick the game-winner.

Rule 8, Section 2, Article 1, Item 4 of the NFL rulebook pretty clearly states you cannot fake spike then actually spike.

I love losing to the refs instead of ourselves. First the terrible roughing call, the the fake spike-then spike that is by definition grounding. @NFL @Panthers @Browns pic.twitter.com/mtPMbDgSCM

Baker Mayfield made his best effort with a second-half rally, but came up excruciatingly short as a 60-yard field goal by Browns rookie kicker Cade York sank the Carolina Panthers in a 26-24 Cleveland win.

Facing a Cleveland team absent starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, Carolina got off to a rough start against Mayfield’s former Browns.

This was a win he wanted and a win that should’ve happened.
