Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride tried to make his case for pass interference in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, but it was too late. The funny part is if you watch the clip, it seems clear McBride knew he got the referee on video saying what he said. This line judge wasn’t alone. Another referee got heated in the Vikings-Dolphins game over incidental contact and blew his stack.
