Minnesota Vikings' DE Brian Robison blasts refs after loss to Dallas Cowboys

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Brian Robison couldn't contain his emotions or his tongue after Thursday's 17-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at U.S. Bank Stadium.

He was particularly upset with the officiating and singled out the Vikings' two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game at 17-17 with 25 seconds left. After right tackle Jeremiah Sirles' false start moved the ball back to the 7, officials missed a Dallas defender hitting and grabbing Sam Bradford's facemask as he was throwing incomplete.

"I'm just going to say it right now: I'm sick and tired of the reffing in the league right now," Robison said. "I'm sick and tired of it. You got holding calls all over the place that people don't want to call.

"Bradford gets hit in the face at the end of the game and you don't call it. I'm not laying this loss on reffing, but at some point it's got to get better. The problem is the costly penalties that don't get called.

"It gets to a point where it's too frustrating. I don't know. I'm probably going to get fined for this. I understand that, but somebody's got to step up and say something."
