She stopped an officer to ask. “You aren’t in danger, he told us, ..>> view originalJacksonville man pokes fun at campaign season with Hillary Clinton ...

A season’s worth of frustration with officials boiled over for Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson during and after Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Denver Broncos. Robinson appeared to be held by Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib on a fourth-and-4 incompletion with 8:14 remaining in the game. Talib wasn’t called for the penalty, which would have resulted in a first down at the Broncos’ 33 (if the call was holding) or closer (if pass interference).
