A controversial pass interference call was made on Miami cornerback Jack Jones during Sunday’s matchup between the Dolphins and the Washington Commanders. On a second-and-11 from Washington’s 11-yard line, Jones was flagged despite minimal contact and a pass that sailed well over the receiver’s head.
NFL Network rules analyst Dean Blandino stated the penalty “shouldn’t have been a foul.” The call halted Miami’s promising scoring opportunity and drew sharp criticism from both the team and media.
### Fans Express Frustration on Social Media
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their displeasure with the call. One fan wrote,
“Hey @NFL That was an insane pass interference call on @MiamiDolphins Jack Jones. Stop allowing awful refereeing ruin this beautiful game ours on this world stage. #MiamiDolphins #Madrid #NFL.”
Another fan commented,
“The call of pass interference against Jack Jones was awful. Spaniards in attendance watching the sport for the first time would’ve called it better.”
Additional reactions included:
– “@MiamiDolphins looks like these refs wanna be seen and heard today. These penalties are terrible. Jack Jones, that was great coverage. That call kept this drive going. #InvestigateTheseRefs. Lol!!!”
– “Horrendous PI against Jack Jones in this Dolphin/Commander game. Perfect coverage and the ball was way uncatchable 🤦🏻♂️,”
– “Absolute bullsh*t PI call against Jack Jones. Mariota threw that ball all the way to Barcelona. #NFLMadrid #FinsUp,”
– “Pass interference on Jack Jones was 20 ft over his head and uncatchable. @NFL promoting this in Spain? These refs a*s.”
### Washington Commanders Lead After Controversial Call
The Washington Commanders held a 13-6 lead over the Miami Dolphins in the third quarter of the game played in Madrid. Washington opened the scoring with a 46-yard field goal, followed by a 39-yard field goal from Miami early in the second quarter. The Commanders earned the game’s first touchdown on a 20-yard passing play, taking control of the matchup.
So far, the Dolphins, holding a 3-7 record, have struggled offensively, managing just 162 total yards without scoring a touchdown. In comparison, the Commanders have accumulated 232 yards. Washington’s defense has effectively limited explosive plays, while their offense has maintained longer possessions.
The Commanders’ win probability stands at 74%, reflecting their stronger execution and advantageous field position throughout the game. Miami’s drives have frequently stalled, forcing the team to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns.
