Sauce: Refs picking on me because Jets losing
""I watch football all the time and I just feel like -- I don't know if this is wrong to say -- but I think I get called for more stuff just based off of us not winning," said Gardner, who signed a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension before training camp that made him the NFL's highest-paid corner. "I watch these winning programs and there'd be some egregious things, and it don't get called. They're letting the players play.""
""I got caught on something today where it's like, I know the route and everything and I'm just supposed to let him just push off at the top of route," Gardner said. "I'm seeing him count the steps, all that. He's not going to catch the ball regardless. "I just feel like, in general, even the Mike Evans [penalty last week], I just feel like us not winning -- it's what goes on if we don't win."
Cornerback Sauce Gardner expressed frustration after a pass interference penalty in a 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Gardner suggested officials call more penalties on him because the New York Jets are not winning. Gardner signed a four-year, $120.4 million extension that made him the NFL's highest-paid corner. The penalty occurred in the third quarter while covering Jaylen Waddle on an in-cut, and the pass fell incomplete. The Jets committed 13 penalties, lost three fumbles and dropped to 0-4. Gardner compared calls to those allowed in winning programs and referenced a recent Mike Evans penalty.
