Did NFL troll Patriots with ‘PSI’ tweet?
The official NFL Twitter account shared a video on Wednesday that shows several NFL head coaches talking about what it takes to be a great franchise quarterback. Did the league take a swipe at the New England Patriots in the process?
See if you notice anything suspicious about the tweet:
Precision.
Strength.
Intelligence.

If you take the first letter of each of the three words, you get P-S-I. Probably just a coincidence, right?
For what it’s worth, the coaches in the video used plenty adjectives to describe great quarterbacks. New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles came the closest to using all three words that were included in the tweet, but he used the word “toughness” instead of “strength.” In fact, no one said “strength” during the one-minute clip.
“Obviously he’s got to be precise and have all those things, but intelligence and toughness,” Bowles said. “If you have leadership those guys will follow you and go wherever and do whatever for you.”
We already wondered if the NFL was taking a shot at the Patriots with this photo on its Instagram page. Maybe people are reading into it too much. Or, maybe not…
