New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles was frustrated with the officiating during his team’s 44-38 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Per Pro Football Talk’s Josh Alper, Bowles felt like the Jets were in a handicap match during the game.
“I thought we were playing two teams,” he said during his postgame press conference. “The Packers and the striped shirts.”
Bowles acknowledged during his press conference that he would probably get fined but didn’t care because of how badly he felt the game was called.
“That’s how bad it was,” Bowles said, via USA Today‘s Andy Vasquez. “I’m sure I’m getting fined already, so I care not to even say anymore. But something’s got to be done about that. That’s ridiculous.”
The officials called a total of 26 penalties on both teams, with the Jets getting flagged 16 times for 172 yards.
Two of those flags were for pass interference calls against Trumaine Johnson and Buster Skrine on the Packers’ final drive in overtime to help set up Aaron Rodgers‘ game-winning 16-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams.
In addition to his problems with the officials, Bowles can’t be happy with his team heading into the final week of the season. The Jets have lost eight of their last nine games following a 3-3 start.
