EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In the aftermath of the New York Jets’ loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, Aaron Rodgers expressed numerous frustrations, notably his interception that clinched the game for Buffalo, several dropped passes, and miscommunication with his receivers. However, his strongest criticism was aimed at the officiating calls.

Rodgers directed his ire towards referee Adrian Hill and his team, who imposed 22 penalties totaling 204 yards—a season-high for the NFL. Each team recorded 11 accepted penalties, many of which disrupted the flow of the game.

He was so incensed that he even criticized a call that was in the Jets’ favor, injecting a reference to “South Park” into his remarks.

“Yeah, it seemed a little ridiculous,” Rodgers commented on the officiating after the game. “Some calls were really poor, including the roughing the passer penalty against me. That’s definitely not roughing the passer—might as well play Sarcastaball if we’re going to make those kinds of calls.”

“I also thought the roughing the passer call on (Jets defensive player Javon) Kinlaw was not correct either.”

The “Sarcastaball” reference comes from a Season 16 episode of “South Park” where NFL officiating is satirized.

While the Bills also faced strict officiating, many of the Jets’ penalties negated significant plays, particularly a holding penalty against left tackle Tyron Smith late in the third quarter that canceled a 4-yard touchdown run by running back Braelon Allen.

As a result, the Jets were forced to attempt a 32-yard field goal, which kicker Greg Zuerlein missed, hitting the left upright instead. A touchdown would have given New York a seven-point advantage, but they ultimately lost 23-20.

“We had a clear path to a touchdown with Braelon,” Rodgers lamented, “but that phantom holding call ruined it.”

Smith chose not to speak with the media following the game.

In the past three weeks, the Jets (2-4) have seen 32 penalties enforced against them, amassing 382 penalty yards over the last four games.

“This is something I need to evaluate closely,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters after the match. “Some calls will definitely be justified. For those that are, we need to assess how they’re being coached. Is it a technical issue? Is it something that keeps happening and needs correction? Reviewing the tape will be tough because we can’t have this kind of play. It sets us back during drives on offense and prolongs them on defense. It’s unacceptable.”
