A questionable no-call on a late hit by Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver against Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had fans and analysts questioning the NFL's consistency—especially when compared to star quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes.

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens had a nightmarish first half against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in their divisional round clash at Highmark Stadium.
The Buffalo Bills face a stiff test this weekend as they host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens with a spot in the AFC championship game on the line. When these teams met early in the season in Baltimore, the Ravens ran the Bills off the field, 35–10, with Jackson leading the way with 210 total yards and three total touchdowns.
Get it right, or call it out as being wrong so the same thing doesn’t happen to Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts — or even Patrick Mahomes — this Sunday.
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver wasn't flagged after Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took a late hit out of bounds.
Lamar Jackson was the victim of an extremely late hit while scrambling out of bounds during the first half against the Buffalo Bills, yet despite the seemingly obvious nature of the penalty, officials kept their flags in their pockets.
At the 8:46 mark of the second quarter, Jackson scrambled for 11 yards before Oliver dragged him down as they went out of bounds. Although no penalty was called, Oliver has now been fined $16,883 for his "unnecessary roughness (hip-drop tackle)."
And there was another thing that gnawed at the defense’s collective craw. The Ravens protected the football better that any team all season. The Bills were the best at taking it away. The challenge was obvious. “That was our motto all week: Let’s see who’s better,” Phillips said.
