In week one this season we were playing the Baltimore Hawks. We were down a couple scores and our defense was starting to tighten up. On a huge third down, we got a bigtime stop as they were just getting over the 50. At least, we thought we had gotten a stop. The referee then proceeded to throw a flag for a horse collar tackle. Our whole defense was shocked... a great tackle had just been made by one of our linebackers and it had just been taken away by a ridiculous call. Everyone on the defense turned to each other which shocked expressions, confused about the horse collar flag when nothing of the such occurred. Thankfully, our defense took the high road and lined back up for the next play. The hawks however did score that same drive which killed our momentum for the rest of the game. We went on to lose by much more than we should have due to that horrific call.
