Twitter Had Same Reaction To Jakobi Meyers Having First NFL TD Called Back

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Jakobi Meyers finally got his first NFL touchdown Sunday afternoon.

... But then it was called back.

The Patriots wide receiver had 116 catches without a score heading into New England's Week 6 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at Gillette Stadium. That looked to have changed in the second quarter when quarterback Mac Jones hit Meyers for a 25-yard touchdown, but a holding call on James Ferentz took it off the board.

Many fans took to Twitter to share the same reaction once the penalty was announced.

There is a league-wide operation going on to prevent Jakobi Meyers from scoring a TD man I’m sick
