Bears' Robert Quinn shouts out on administering later chippy game versus Vikings: Refs 'controlling the game excessively a lot'

 

The Chicago Bears were not satisfied with official Scott Novak's group during and later their 17-9 misfortune to the meeting Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, a game in which the Bears piled up five individual fouls out of nine absolute punishments, including an uncommon banner against mentor Matt Nagy for contending a call at Soldier Field.

 

Thereafter, the Bears communicated no second thoughts.

 

"A portion of these calls are beginning to become somewhat insane," said pass-rusher Robert Quinn, who prior Monday was named to his third Pro Bowl. "These refs appear as though they're controlling the game excessively a lot. In this way, when a play is spotless and they're tossing a banner for something that they figured they could change a game [with] just by one banner ... allow folks to make a move. Assuming this several years prior, a big part of this stuff wouldn't be called. However, presently, they got so many of these moronic standards, they darn close in a ref's hands [and] could change the game at whatever second.

 

"I think they need to go check the refs they employ and not our mentor."

Nagy was punished in the middle of the first and second quarters, two plays later Novak's group hailed Bears wellbeing Deon Bush for a hit to Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin's head on an inadequate pass. The NFL's administering division tweeted that Bush had submitted "coercive contact" against Conklin, 맥스벳 a conflict Nagy fervently questioned during the game.

Novak told a pool journalist that Nagy utilized "improper language" during his contention.

 

"I won't rehash information exchanged, yet when it goes too far and it's unseemly, we toss a banner," Novak added.

 

The two groups battled to keep their poise. Bears protective lineman Trevis Gipson and hostile lineman Teven Jenkins each were punished 15 yards for post-play animosity toward Vikings players. Also Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks was catapulted in the final quarter for a hit to the head of Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who was sliding and considered down.

 

"I didn't get a decent clarification, truly. They came over late and said they thought he had an elbow to a head," Vikings mentor Mike Zimmer said of Kendricks' launch. "I thought I saw it pretty neatly, and I thought the quarterback slid and kept his head up, and Eric was going down and sort of raised his head to attempt to keep away from it, and I thought they knock heads."

 

Zimmer said in general he figured his group worked really hard of keeping its poise in what was a chippy game against a division rival.

 

"I realize that it helped a few times since they got 15-yard punishments," he said. "We attempt to be a focused football crew and not do those sorts of things.
