NFL referees are back at it again. This time, they're screwing over Buffalo Bills' linebacker Tremaine Edmunds on Sunday Night Football. Edmunds made a clean tackle on Pittsburgh Steelers' running back Kerrith Whyte but was called for a facemask, and we'll just let you determine for yourselves how bad of a call this is based on the video below.

Edmunds didn't even come close to grabbing Whyte's facemask, as he didn't even make contact with his helmet. It's laughable at this point.

The only possible explanation was that ref saw the play from behind and merely assumed it was a facemask. Either way, making this obvious of a blunder is unacceptable, and will surely serve as easy fodder for people to complain about.
