Dave Portnoy\u00a0once again led the backlash<\/span>\u00a0against NFL referees on Sunday night after a staggering holding call during the\u00a0Buffal<\/a>o Bills<\/span>\u00a0game against\u00a0Baltimore Ravens<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins was penalized for holding on Ravens linebacker\u00a0 David Ojabo when he only seemed to swipe Ojabo’s hands away when he reached out to grapple him.<\/p>\n

It turned a third and 3 into a 2nd and 22 for the Bills in the first quarter of Sunday’s showdown, with the score at 7-7, and the call was immediately slammed on the CBS commentary by Tomy Romo, who branded it ‘terrible’.<\/p>\n

Portnoy’s view was, true to style, even more passionate, with the Barstool Sports founder saying on X: ‘his holding a call was basically a turnover. The NFL has to fix this. Takes points right off the board probably for Buffalo. Explain @NFLcommish.’<\/p>\n

In the clip he posted on the platform of the incident, Portnoy says: ‘Listen, I honestly don’t know what we are doing in this league.<\/p>\n

‘This is a billion dollar league and you’ve got officials as the most important players on the field.<\/p>\n
