Another week, another Clay Matthews hit, another disastrous penalty.

Seven days after Matthews was penalized for hitting Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, negating a game-sealing interception, officials once again flagged a Matthews’ hit, this time at the end of a sack on Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith.

The penalty was the same: Roughing the passer.

This is a foul for roughing the passer – the defender lands “with all or most of the defender’s weight” on the passer. Rule 12, Section 2, Article 9(b): https://t.co/s9YKN8NLuT #GBvsWAS pic.twitter.com/ei2QZkvvzx — NFL Football Operations (@NFLFootballOps) September 23, 2018

Matthews rolled off Smith and couldn’t believe he was being penalized again. He threw his arms in the air and later crouched down, in stunned disbelief of the deja vu moment.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy was irate on the sidelines. He had to be physically restrained from continuing his pursuit of an official.

The Packers defense responded this time around, forcing a punt. Washington leads, 28-17.
