Thoughts
Marshon Lattimore got called for another penalty this week, for holding, but it was declined because the receiver still caught the ball.

The TV analysts are commenting on the inconsistency in calls across the league with Troy Aikman saying “I’m not gonna keep my mouth shut. That’s a good call. Just not a necessary call…Nothing brings a broadcast to a screeching halt more than these yellow flags…The product’s just not very good. I’m gonna be honest…I mean, this is ridiculous.”
Marist Liufau for the Cowboys is a big hitter but reckless. First one was a penalty, but the second should have been.
