Unless Jaelan Phillips could defy physics, he couldn't avoid finishing his sack on Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert the way he did.
Nobody saw anything wrong with Phillips' sack except the officials on Sunday night, who waited several seconds before throwing one of the worst roughing the passer penalty flags of the season.
There are often questionable and bad penalties called in the name of protecting quarterbacks, but the one on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night was one of the worst. Phillips sacked Herbert, his knee hit the ground and then Phillips' momentum took him forward and on top of Herbert. Phillips tried to brace his fall, but it didn't matter. Officials thought he landed with his body weight on Herbert and that's a penalty.
Regardless, it's impossible to think Phillips tried to land with his full body weight on Herbert. Or that he could have done anything differently. And still, it was flagged. There have been a lot of bad roughing the passer calls this year, this might be the worst. Jaelan Phillips literally braced himself to avoid body weight. That’s textbook avoiding a penalty
