VIDEO: Baltimore Ravens Superstar Accuses The Refs Of Cheating For The Kansas City Chiefs, And He May Have A Point
Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley was not happy with the referees after Thursday night’s opening game against the Kansas City Chiefs, as he felt he was made an example of with the multiple illegal formation calls.
The Ravens kicked off their season with a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs that came down to Isaiah Likely’s toe being on the line when he caught what would have been a game-tying touchdown pass as the clock expired.
Given the single-TD loss, Baltimore could have done without some of the penalties. Stanley, in particular, was called for three of his team’s four illegal formation penalties. The Chiefs weren’t called for said violation, though he feels they were also lining up wrongly.
“The way it was going through the game, I really feel like they were trying to make an example and chose me to be the one to do that,” Ravens reporter Ryan Mink quoted him as saying after the game. “As far as I saw, they weren’t doing it on both sides of the ball. I know that I was lined up in good position a majority of those calls they made.”
