Argument 78: What Was The Worst Call In Boston Sports History?

Book Answer: Ben Dreith's Botched Roughing the Passer

I am going to have to agree with this one. Let me set the scene.

• Third and eighteen for the Raiders in a postseason game.
• Pass is incomplete.
• Ben Dreith makes the call that Sugar Bear Hamilton "roughs the passer."
• Raiders score a touchdown four plays later.
• The touchdown wins the game for Oakland.
• New England's first playoff game is blown.

Really a recipe for disaster.
