Chargers DE Joey Bosa: Officiating 'really pathetic' in win over Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa helped the team earn a 28-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders Monday night. However, he wasn't happy while speaking with reporters after the game. 

Bosa was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the fourth quarter of the win after arguing with officials that they missed a holding call as he rushed Derek Carr on an incomplete pass. While discussing the play with reporters, Bosa called the officials "blind" and said they were "so bad it's unbelievable."

"Fifteen yards, it's a big deal," Bosa said, according to ESPN's Shelley Smith. "Obviously that's on me. I should never lose my temper like that, but these guys have got to do a better job because it's been years of terrible missed calls left and right. It's really pathetic, honestly, but pathetic on me too for doing what I did. Call or not I have to take a step back and just go to the next play, but, man, they seem not to have their eyes open half the time."

Bosa could receive more discipline from the league in the near future as players have been fined for public criticism of officials in the past.

The 26-year-old finished Monday's game with one sack, one tackle and two quarterback hits. He played 82% of the defensive snaps.
