Sauce Gardner Alleges Officiating Double Standard as Jets Fall to 0-4

The All-Pro’s complaint follows a 13-penalty, three-turnover game that drew an angry rebuke from first-year coach Aaron Glenn.

Overview

  • The Jets lost 27-21 at Miami, where a third-quarter defensive pass interference on Gardner extended a drive that ended in a Dolphins touchdown.
  • New York was flagged 13 times for 101 yards and turned it over three times, and the team remains without a defensive takeaway this season.
  • Gardner said he believes he gets called for more infractions because the Jets are not winning, asserting that winning teams get more leeway.
  • Multiple outlets report Gardner is likely to be fined by the NFL for publicly criticizing officiating.
  • Analysts countered that Gardner’s recent penalties reflect handsy technique and lapses in coverage rather than bias from officials.
