Ron Torbert Super Bowl officials didnt see Tee Hig from seestyle's blog

Officiating was, unfortunately, at the forefront of many NFL fans' minds in wake of Super Bowl 56.

"It Morgan Moses Jersey was a contested catch, and the crew didnt see any contact that rose to the level of pa s interference."BENDER: But what about the facemask penalty? Torbert explained that they didn't see "a grab and twist and turn" during the play.

"If theres just a rake acro s the facemask, where theres not a twist and turn, even if theres a grab, there is no foul.
