On this week's Challenge Flags, the OG Football Show panel of Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merril Hoge and Damien Woody each challenge a player, coach, unit or team heading into Week 5 of the NFL season.
Trey's flag goes to the league's officials. The suspensions stem from two Week 4 incidents. Seeman appeared to curse at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during the Cardinals-Giants game. Hill appeared to yell at Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson after the two collided in the Vikings-Dolphins game. Trey's message: the job is to let the players perform within the rules, and nobody tunes in to watch the officials.
Also in this episode: • Mark Schlereth challenges the Denver Broncos offense to find one thing it does well and build from it.
• Merril Hoge challenges the Minnesota Vikings offense to score a touchdown, after Minnesota beat Miami 15-10 on five field goals.
• Damien Woody challenges Jets head coach Aaron Glenn to wake up before it is too late.
Officials are supposed to stay out of the story. This week, two of them did not.
