The N-F-L is defending a roughing the passer penalty on Packers linebacker Clay Matthews on Sunday. The league says the controversial penalty was the right call and they will use tape of the incident as a teaching tool. The call wiped out a potential game-sealing interception for the Pack against the rival Vikings, a game which ended in a tie. Packers Coach Mike McCarthy spoke about how his team will rush the passer from now on.
He also said that the NFL has to do a better job at not penalizing the defense for doing their job.
He suggests that maybe a replay should come into play.
The Packers return to the practice field Wednesday as they prepare for their first road test of the season. Green Bay will play the Redskins Sunday at Washington. The Packers are 1-0-and-1 after tying the Vikings on Sunday. The ‘Skins are 1-and-1 after losing to the Colts.
