A heavily-debated ruling by the referees through the third quarter of the Seattle Seahawks vs. Detroit Lions sport gave option to an immediate basic soundbite throughout Week 2 of the NFL season.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith dropped again to go and thought his receiver, Tyler Lockett, was working a go path to the tip zone. Smith threw the ball deep, however Lockett wasn’t on the identical web page, and selected to interrupt off to his route brief.

The refs referred to as the play intentional grounding, which made Smith and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll furious. As Smith pleaded with the official, the ref checked out him and mentioned “I’m Speaking to America right here.”

FOX shade commentator Greg Olsen instantly mentioned “that’s the perfect line I’ve ever heard out of an official,” and he’s not fallacious. Cease complaining Geno, I’m speaking to America right here!

Right here’s the play that led to “I’m speaking to America right here.” Smith is contained in the deal with field, and the throw isn’t near the receiver. He isn’t pressured, so it’s not like he’s making an attempt to do away with the ball. Did the refs make the proper name right here?

Smith and Lockett would get their revenge later within the sport. The duo related on the game-winning landing in extra time to provide Seattle a 37-31 win. Watch that play right here.

Smith and Lockett have been electrical in Week 2 to provide Seattle its first win of the season, however not less than for a couple of minutes, the sassy ref was the true star of the present.
