The Thursday night football game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys was far from clean. Rather, one would argue the referees were trigger-happy when it came to showing players the yellow flag.

There were several instances where the official decisions raised more questions than providing answers. In the end, they called 15 penalties on the night, 11 of them against the Cowboys.

One excellent example would be the horrible face mask grab by the Cowboys’ DeMarvion Overshown on Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger on a second-and-7 play from the Cowboys’ 37-yard line. The referees mistakenly awarded a 15-yard penalty to the Cowboys instead of the Giants.

CBS Sports writer John Breech was quick to point out the obvious mistake by the referee.

The refs are off to a hot start. Daniel Bellinger got flagged for a facemask on a play where he actually got facemasked.

Breech wrote on X (previously Twitter).

While seasoned veterans of the game would be used to the choppy refereeing in the NFL, it was one of the many first tastes of frustration for the Cowboys rookie tackle Tyler Guyton. He constantly left second-guessing himself because the referees threw back-to-back holding flags against the Cowboys’ offense and defense.

The game eventually ended in favor of Jerry Jones’ men with a 20-15 scoreline, securing their second win of the season. The W did little to cool down Tyler Guyton’s anger toward bad refereeing.

Cowboys journalist and WFAA presenter Mike Leslie shared a clip of the Cowboys first-round pick heading back to the locker room inside the MetLife Stadium.

The NFL needs better refs. Please!

The cameras caught Guyton saying.

Tyler Smith also took a dig at the NFL referees after the Giants win.

Guyton wasn’t the only one who expressed their view about the officiating. All-Pro guard Tyler Smith had one of the worst lucks on Thursday in terms of facing the wrath of the referees. Smith later delivered a killer one-liner, summing up how football players see NFL refereeing

I’m not going to say it. Roger Goodell protects those guys like John Gotti.

Making a John Gotti reference after beating a New York team is brilliant. Smith definitely proved his EQ about pop culture history. Regardless, there’s no point brooding over what could have been.
