In this first one, Tua Tagovailoa gets bumped after giving himself up by sliding, and the referee smiles at him for wanting a flag. In truth, Tagovailoa likely thought the contact was more than it was.
In this video, Mahomes was scrambling out of bounds when he was hit in the back. It looks like it should have been a flag.
On this play, the Dolphins had multiple players jump offside, but the officials missed this call. This has been happening a lot in games recently.
Now, this one is odd. Marquise Brown was flagged for offensive pass interference, and we can see he didn't even touch either defender.
The last one is a roughing of the passer penalty on the Commanders, as it looks like the defender lands on Mac Jones with all his weight. However, we can see at the end that he rolls to avoid that - tough call.
NFL fans shocked over missed calls
This has been happening all season, and given that the NFL is a multi-billion dollar industry, fans can't believe that these missed calls are happening.
NFL referees have had a tough start to the season
So, as we can see, there are some missed calls, and fans aren't happy. In truth, the referees are doing their best, but what gets fans riled up is that with all the camera angles and slow-motion technology available, these kinds of mistakes happen.

It's a rough business, but one blight on the game for fans this season has been the standard of refereeing.
