Aaron Glenn caught accusing referees of favoritism

New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn seemingly accused referees of favoritism during a moment of frustration during Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Glenn was angry after the Bills were not called for a late hit on quarterback Geno Smith during the first half of what ultimately turned out to be a 31-12 defeat. CBS cameras caught him discussing the no-call with the referees, and he clearly indicated that he felt the Jets would have been flagged for hitting Josh Allen the same way.

“If that was Josh Allen every flag on the field would be thrown,” Glenn appeared to say.

At least in this instance, Glenn might have had a point, as Smith did appear to get hit late after releasing a pass.

Geno Smith takes a huge hit. Despite all the recent calls for roughing the passer it’s surprising that the refs didn’t throw a flag here against the Bills https://t.co/5l7MsnQSiK

Glenn’s interactions with officials have been pretty fun. The football his team has played has not been, as Sunday’s loss dropped his career record to just 5-22.
