The Week 5 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos turned heated after a controversial officiating moment sparked outrage among Broncos fans.
In the second quarter, Eagles cornerback Kelee Ringo appeared to make heavy contact with Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. while quarterback Bo Nix attempted a sideline throw. Officials initially threw a flag for pass interference — only to pick it up moments later, declaring no foul on the play.
The reversal immediately set off a storm online. The Broncos sideline was visibly frustrated, while fans and analysts accused referees of favoring Philadelphia throughout the game. The clip, shared by multiple sports accounts, quickly went viral as fans flooded social media with complaints about the league’s inconsistency.
“That was clear contact before the ball arrived — if that’s not PI, what is?” one Broncos fan posted. Others suggested the referees were “protecting” the Eagles after several earlier questionable calls went their way.
Despite the controversy, the Eagles’ defense held strong, continuing their streak of physical coverage plays that have defined their secondary all season. But for Broncos fans, this moment will likely fuel more debates about the fairness of officiating in Philadelphia games.
