Cowboys' star pass-rusher Micah Parsons on Chris Jones penalty: 'The NFL is terrible. How can we play football with this s***'

Perhaps the bogus and completely wrong "roughing the passer" penalty called on Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. The camel, in this instance, is the farce known as NFL officiating.

Jones was flagged for "roughing the passer" late in the second quarter of the 'Monday Night Football' clash between the Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. 

The phrase "roughing the passer" should forever be in quotations from here on out, because as you'll see below. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was not the recipient of a rough hit. Hell, he's probably taken tougher hits in practice from his teammates.

The fact that this call happened on third-and-long and swung the momentum completely away from the trailing Chiefs made an already terrible call even worse.

NFL Twitter, predictably and rightfully, erupted after the call. It was so bad that even star pass rusher Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys — one of the NFL's young up-and-coming superstars — felt that he had to publicly call the league out.

Parsons would know something about playing in the Pro Bowl. He made it last season as a rookie after notching 13 sacks for the Cowboys.

Parsons, like the rest of us, probably realized that all 13 of those sacks would have been called "roughing the passer" if the 'Monday Night Football' referees had anything to say about it.

This isn't good for the NFL.
