Roughing the passer is the source of some of the fiercest arguments over NFL officiating.
Sunday night's showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins offered up another prime entry in the debate.
But there was a flag. Dolphins defensive end Christian Wilkins hit Hurts just after he threw the ball. Hurts dropped to the turf, and officials flagged Wilkins for roughing the passer.Wilkins took one step after Hurts released the ball, then slowed his momentum. He put both hands on Hurts' torso as he pulled up. Hurts went flailing to the turf.
"He hits him in one step — he actually pulls off with his hands," McAuley said."He doesn't follow through and blow up the quarterback. This just isn't enough for roughing the passer."
