NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said he trusts Ed
Hochuli's version of events after Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam
Newton claimed he was told by the veteran referee that he wasn't old
enough to draw a personal-foul flag.
Newton thought a penalty could have been called early in the fourth
quarter when he was hit hard near the out-of-bounds marker by
defensive tackle Tyeler Davison after throwing an incompletion in
Sunday's 27-22 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Newton, 26, said Hochuli told him, "You're not old enough to get
that call."
Blandino said he talked with Hochuli, who denied uttering those
words.
