The NFL offices better be scrolling through Instagram right now, because Jets quarterback Geno Smith just went straight to the source after Browns defensive end Jared Verse dropped a helmet-to-helmet hit on him Sunday that went completely unflagged. The Jets are absolutely fuming about the missed call, and honestly, who could blame them?
Aaron Glenn Blew Up After THAT Missed Call
It was a brutal moment on the field. Verse lowered the top of his helmet directly into the side of Smith’s, a dangerous hit that should have drawn a flag without a second thought. But somehow, the officials on the field just… didn’t see it. Or chose not to. Either way, Jets coach Aaron Glenn was seen absolutely laying into the officials about it during the game, and you could feel the frustration bubbling over from the entire Jets sideline.
Geno Smith Goes Straight To The NFL On Instagram
After the game, Smith clearly wasn’t letting it go. He took to his Instagram stories and posted a photo of the egregious hit, showing Verse’s helmet smashing right into his face. And to make sure everyone who needed to see it, saw it, Smith tagged @NFL directly in the post. That’s a direct challenge, an undeniable plea for accountability when the on-field crew failed to deliver it.
The league office definitely saw it, no doubt. While the refs on the turf missed the call, there’s no way the NFL can ignore a public appeal like that. Honestly, it would be shocking if Verse somehow walks away from this without a hefty fine coming his way. The league has to make a statement here, especially when a player is putting it on blast like this.
