There’s a narrative around the Pro Bowl that the flag football game isn’t a serious matter.
Well, don’t tell that to Baltimore Ravens legend Ray Lewis.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker joined Peyton Manning’s AFC team Sunday in Orlando as the defensive coordinator. Lewis was heated throughout the matchup, specifically directing his frustrations toward the officials at times.
At one point, Lewis ran onto the field to dispute a penalty on the AFC defense for faking a blitz. He pleaded with officials while insisting that wasn’t the intent.
There were so many funny moments between Lewis and the officials that the Ravens posted a compilation video of the best ones:
