Jim Irsay's tweets have stirred controversy on social media. The Indianapolis Colts owner's most recent sentiments on X could land him in hot water with the NFL, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

“The NFL communicates with teams on a weekly basis about various calls. Team officials are prohibited from commenting publicly on those discussions. Now, a team owner has publicly said the league admitted to officiating mistakes. Stay tuned,” Pelissero tweeted.

Tom Pelissero didn't identify Jim Irsay in his tweet. However, it was clear he referred to the controversial Colts owner. Irsay gave several updates on the Colts (including quarterback Anthony Richardson's successful shoulder surgery) on Tuesday. His second update raised quite a few eyebrows on social media.

“The NFL admits and understands they did not make the correct calls at end of Sunday's Colts/Browns game. I believe we need to institute Instant Replay for all calls, including Penalties, in the last two minutes of All Games,” Jim Irsay tweeted.

The Colts lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Cleveland Browns 39-38 in Week 7. Indy built a 38-33 lead after Michael Pittman, Jr's touchdown. Unfortunately, officials called Colts cornerback Darrell Baker, Jr.for two costly penalties in the fourth quarter.

Baker's pass interference penalty on Donovan Peoples-Jones sealed their fate. The infraction negated Zaire Franklin's strip sack on Browns quarterback PJ Walker. Cleveland running back Kareem Hunt eventually scored a one-yard touchdown to win the game for the Browns. Colts fans were apoplectic over the questionable officiating.

Jim Irsay is no stranger to controversy. His tweet about the league's running back situation enraged Jonathan Taylor's agent Malki Kawa. A long standoff between the two sides over Taylor's contract ensued. Jonathan Taylor eventually demanded a trade before he agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension on October 7.

We can only wonder what the NFL has to say about Jim Irsay's recent comments on the officiating.
