Brad Allen and his referee crew have been the center of multiple controversial calls and games this season.
Dolphis vs. Eagles - Everyone remembers this game. 10 penalties called on Dolphins compared to 0 called on Eagles. One of the worst and most lopsided reffed games in recent history. Towards the end of the game, there was a non existent roughing the passer penalty called against Miami. This call was made by Duane Heydt (who’s from Pennsylvania). Some additional history, his crew was previously suspended from an ACC championship game for unethical refereeing.
Chiefs vs. Packers. Everyone saw the blatant pass interference that wasn’t called, which would’ve moved the Chiefs into the redzone with a chance to tie the game. One of the most obvious pass interference penalties we’ve seen and nothing called.
Please also note: Home teams win in 58% of Brad Allen’s games & cover 56% ATS since 2016. NFL average is 55% win & 49% cover (source).

Might as well mention the blown roughing the passer penalty on the inbounds hit of Malholmes, or how there somehow wasnt a 10 second runoff after the fumble review, or how they stopped the clock for MVS when his forward progress was stopped in bounds
10 second runoff on fumble doesn’t happen when there’s a penalty inside the final 2 mins of a half
Some additional history, his crew was previously suspended from an ACC championship game for unethical refereeing.
there is nothing that corroborates this
I would need to see multiple penalties that should have been called on the Eagles and multiple ticky tack calls on the Dolphins for that to be a valid criticism. Sometimes that’s how games go. One team is sloppy and the other isn’t.
