Great to see Jerome Boger back on the field for a playoff game.
Jerome has proven to make a mess of this game already. Announcing a hold on the defense when the hold was on the BAL (punting team). WHY IS HE STILL REFFING?
Titans linebacker Daren Bates was flagged for defensive holding on a punt late in the first half. At first, it looked like the crew was penalizing the wrong team, but in fact, this was a great call by umpire Carl Paganelli. This is known as a "pull-and-shoot", where one defender pulls an offensive lineman out of the way, allowing a defender in the second level to shoot the gap.
Since this foul happened before the kick, it is treated as a typical defensive holding foul and is a five yard penalty from the previous spot and an automatic first down.
