Everyone in Jacksonville says the NFL is rigged.

Here is a list of all the penalties from yesterdays game:
  1. PENALTY on JAX-74-C.Robinson, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at JAX 23 - No Play.
  2. PENALTY on NE-59-M.Flowers, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at NE 21.
  3. PENALTY on JAX, Illegal Shift, 5 yards, enforced at NE 47 - No Play.
  4. PENALTY on JAX-5-B.Bortles, Delay of Game, 5 yards, enforced at NE 44 - No Play.
  5. PENALTY on JAX-74-C.Robinson, Offensive Holding, declined.
  6. PENALTY on JAX-42-B.Church, Unnecessary Roughness, 15 yards, enforced at NE 40 - No Play. (Helmet to helmet)
  7. PENALTY on JAX-21-A.Bouye, Defensive Pass Interference, 32 yards, enforced at JAX 45 - No Play.
  8. PENALTY on JAX-20-J.Ramsey, Defensive Pass Interference, 36 yards, enforced at NE 19 - No Play.
So seven of the eight penalties were against the Jaguars.

Of those seven, three of them were procedural penalties that are not debatable.

That leaves four penalties that occurred during a play. One of them was an obvious helmet-helmet hit that took Gronkowski out of the game.

Of the three penalties remaining, only one of them was debatable.

I'm not sure one questionable penalty qualifies as a "rigged" game....
