NFL Admits Week 5 Penalty On Calijah Kancey Was Officiating Mistake

The NFL has admitted a glaring officiating error from Week 5 when Buccaneers defensive lineman Calijah Kancey was incorrectly flagged for illegal hands to the face. League rules analyst Walt Anderson confirmed that Cowboys offensive guard Tyler Booker actually committed the foul by putting his hands in Kancey's face, but officials miscommunicated and penalized the wrong team. Kancey protested immediately on the field, but the New York officiating office failed to correct the blatant mistake.
