NFL star playfully claims White teammate is being racially profiled by refs amid rash of penalties

The Denver Broncos scored 33 points in the 4th quarter to beat the New York Giants 33-32. Colin Cowherd discusses Bo Nix’s performance and what his comeback win means for the Broncos and if Jaxson Dart is a franchise QB.

Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss is one of the best in the NFL at his position, yet he has been flagged for defensive pass interference more than anyone in the league this season.

Moss’s teammate, reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II, thinks Moss’s race has something to do with it. Moss is one of the few White cornerbacks in the NFL, and Surtain wondered if that has anything to do with the calls.

"Riley balling, bro. I ain’t going to lie, I think they racial profiling my dog though, man. They calling all these flags on my boy, man. I ain’t going to lie, the flags is egregious, bruh," Surtain said during a recent episode of "Closed on Sundays with Pat and Terrion."

Surtain recalled a recent play from the Broncos' 44-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys where he thought Moss was unjustly flagged.

"You don’t understand, bro. He had a rep against CeeDee (Lamb). They ran (a fade route), he was in perfect position, played the ball, played his hands — they called a flag on my dog. I’m like I don’t know what it is. What they got against him?" Surtain said.

Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold asked if Surtain thought Moss was being profiled and Surtain responded, "Yeah, they profiling him."
