Bears pass rusher Robert Quinn criticised the referees after the 9:17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the Monday Night Game. Quinn faulted the referees for controlling the game too much.

Munich/Chicago – Robert Quinn sharply criticised the referees after the Chicago Bears’ 9-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the Monday Night Game. According to Quinn, the referees were controlling the game too much.

Quinn said after the game, “Some of their decisions are crazy. It feels like the referees are controlling the game a little too much. I mean, they should just let us play football,” he is quoted as saying by “ESPN”.

He continues: “A few years ago, half the referees’ decisions wouldn’t have been whistled. But currently there are so many stupid rules, which puts the game in the hands of the referees, who can influence the game at any time. I think we should talk more about the referees than our coach. “

Robert Quinn on the referees: “Honestly some of these calls are getting a little crazy. These refs seem like they are controlling the game too much.”

It gets better…

“They got so many stupid rules … I think they need to check the refs they hiring and not our coach. “

Heated duel between Vikings and the Bears

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy was flagged in the game after getting upset over a referee decision against Bears safety Deon Bush.

Referee Steve Novak explained the flag afterwards by saying Nagy had used an inappropriate choice of words towards the referees.

Nagy said of the incident after the game, “The players are fighting to the hilt to generate a stop and I saw what happened. So I gave my opinion to the referees and I don’t regret that either. “

By the end of the Monday Night Game, the Bears had nine penalties for a loss of 91 yards of space, extending the Minnesota Vikings’ drive several times. The Vikings, on the other hand, collected only seven penalties for a loss of 54 yards.

After the loss to the Vikings, the Chicago Bears are currently in third place in the NFC North with a record of 4-10, which means the team has lost its last playoff hopes. This is the first time in four years under Nagy that the Bears have won less than half of their games and the second time under him that they have missed the playoffs.
