Jalen Ramsey Rips Ref, Calls Him 'Homer' After Jaguars Loss vs. Texans

Jalen Ramsey might be a rookie, but he is not afraid to speak his mind.

The Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback ripped the officiating crew in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, especially line judge David Shaw, after his team's 21-20 loss. 

"Specifically I want to call out, I don't know his name, I don't really care for it, field judge No. 104," Ramsey said after the game, referring to Shaw, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. "By far the worst official in the NFL. He needs to be fired 100 percent, terrible, terrible, terrible."

Ramsey was called for pass interference on Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a key third down in the fourth quarter. Four plays later, teammate Johnathan Cyprien earned another pass interference flag that put Houston at the 1-yard line. 

Lamar Miller scored the game-winning touchdown on the following play.

Jacksonville finished the game with 12 penalties for 91 yards, resulting in four first downs for the Texans.

As for what caused these problems, Ramsey falsely believed the line judge was related to Houston's top receiver.

"[Shaw] may be a kin to Hopkins or something, I don't know," the 22-year-old said. "He's just a homer, I feel like the whole officiating crew they were homers."

The No. 5 overall draft pick from 2016 has played well in his first NFL season and had one of his best days Sunday, earning his first career interception while tallying five passes defended, per ESPN.com.

This also isn't the first time Ramsey has made headlines with his words, angering Baltimore Ravens receiver Steve Smith Sr. earlier in the year when he said he beat him "physically and psychologically all day," per Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com.
