I agree. It looked bad in realtime and I was hoping for no penalty since I didn't see any flags, but that was the right call.H78 said:Oh I don't know. I thought it was blatant and definitely gave Brady more time. I thought it was the right call.
I thought the refs did a good job with the call on the late hit to Vereen too. That one doesn't get called all the time but was clearly correct. And given the fight at the end, the refs did well to make the call to keep the game under control.
I could quibble about a missed DPI call on a Seattle DB using an arm bar deep along the left sideline (on Amendola?). And a defensive illegal contact call on the Pats (Browner?) looked ticky-tack on replay.
But it was a good showing by the refs overall.
