NFL fans aren’t happy with NFL ref Shawn Hochuli, son of legendary referee Ed Hochuli.
During Thursday night’s Titans-Niners game, Hochuli called a facemask penalty on Tennessee despite the fact that the Titans player obviously missed the facemask and held on to a shoulder pad while trying to make a tackle.

Hochuli was immediately blasted by fans over his egregious penalty call.
Shawn Hochuli’s crew is an embarrassment to the @NFL and @NFLOfficiating.

Shawn Hochuli at it again, gifting the 49ers a face mask that never happened.

If you've watched any amount of football this year, you're probably not surprised Shawn Hochuli can't tell a facemask apart from a shoulder pad

Shawn Hochuli is the worst referee in the NFL by a wide margin.

Can’t believe the NFL would let Shawn Hochuli do another primetime game. https://t.co/gkiWK1VKp9
