United Press International
HOUSTON — Houston Oilers
coach Bum Phillips Monday de
nounced the referee’s handling of an
inadvertent whistle incident, which
cost his team a touchdown against
the Denver Broncos.
Phillips said, however, he would
take no action against back judge
J. W. Sanders or referee Gene Barth
because their decision to strip Carl
Roaches’ of a 74-yard punt return
was the correct action even though
“they just really messed up.”
NFL rules state a referee’s whis
tle, whether intentional or not, stops
play.
Sanders apologized to Phillips af
ter the Sunday incident, but neither
a kind word nor the Oilers’ eventual
20-16 win dulled the edge of Phillips’
ire, which he said was caused by mat
ters following the play.
“I really wasn’t mad at the call so
much as the way they went about it,”
he said. If you blow the whistle and
kill the ball, you are supposed to con
tinue to blow the whistle to stop the
play. He didn’t. Hell, he ran down-
field after the play.”
Referees huddled as Phillips con
gratulated punt returner Roaches
and the Oilers’ extra-point team
lined up to kick.
“Nobody came over and told us
anything after their huddle. The re
feree should have walked over to us
and said, ‘Now coach, I know it’s
hard to believe but we gotta call it
back because the ref inadvertently
blew his whistle.’ But they started
back down the field with the ball and
nobody is telling anybody anything, ”
he said.
Phillips said he was standing less
than 15 feet from Sanders and did not
hear a whistle. He added that the
game film showed Sanders getting
bumped from behind and apparently

mouth.
“Number one, you don’t put the
whistle in your mouth until you’re
ready to blow it,” Phillips said.
The Oilers were given the ball at
their own 25-yard line although Phil
lips said the film shows Roaches
advancing to the 35 when Sanders
was bumped.
picking up a fumble when stopped
by a whistle.
The latest referee’s mistake, Phil
lips said, proved again an old saying
of his: referees never beat you.
“They didn’t yesterday, but they
tried. That game was a pretty good
example and what I’ve said. They
cost you a touchdown, but you come
back to play the type of ball you’re
it get you down. And hell, you go
ahead and win anyhow,” he said.
The Oilers drove 75 yards after the
incident to score and go ahead 20-9.
Tailback Earl Campbell carried
the load on that drive and a later one
which the Oilers used to maintain
the football in the final minutes.
“It was probably the best football
game we’ve played this year. It was a
game we had to win. It was against a
beanbag was thrown to mark the
start of the return. Now doesn’t that
make sense,” Phillips said.
The inadvertent whistle was the
second in the past two weeks at Oil
ers games. Against the Cincinnati
Bengals, defensive tackle Jesse Bak
er was running in the open field after
