The Arizona Cardinals took a heartbreaking 23-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, dropping them to a 6-6 record on the season. Arizona was able to hold the lead for most of the game but was unable to hold off the Vikings’ fourth-quarter comeback. A video of a penalty that changed the outcome of the game has surfaced, and Cardinals’ fans are now claiming the game was rigged for Minnesota.
Vikings Get Away With Penalty?
The video is from a play that was blown dead and called a false start on the Cardinals as they were threatening to score a touchdown. Arizona ultimately came up five yards short of the end zone on the drive, resulting in them not scoring the touchdown. However, the video shows that the Vikings defender moved before the offensive lineman that was penalized.
Arizona fans are calling the game “rigged” for Minnesota after seeing the replay and are also calling out the officials for missing what looks to be an obvious penalty on the Vikings.
NFL officials have been heavily criticized this season for missed calls and questionable calls that have determined the outcome of several games.
