Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake shades Patriots over clock operator

Patriots clock operator

If you thought there was some funny business going on to benefit the New England Patriots prior to halftime of their AFC divisional playoff game against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday, you were not alone.

The Patriots had a 2nd-and-7 at the Titans’ 46 with 11 seconds to go in the first half. Tom Brady completed a pass to Danny Amendola for 11 yards, and there were questions about whether or not the clock expired before he went down. Take a look at the way the time clock seemed to freeze at one second for those watching on TV.

The odd operations led to many questions about whether the Pats received an advantage. One of their AFC East rivals, Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake, sent the following tweet accusing the Pats of getting homecooking.

For what it’s worth, FOX NFL rules guru Mike Pereira says there is no reason to suspect there is home cooking with the clock operation.

As if the clock issue wasn’t enough, there was also the facemask call the refs missed on a fourth down play by the Titans late in the second half.

Whether it’s headsets or clock operators, there always seems to be some controversy in Patriots home games.
