Tom Brady was rightfully upset with the referees for picking up a penalty flag at the end of the New England Patriots-Carolina Panthers “Monday Night Football” game, and ESPN TV microphones caught him cursing out an official following the 24-20 loss.
Brady could be heard dropping an F-bomb on referee Clete Blakeman for rescinding a penalty flag and not explaining the reason for the decision.
The back judge threw a flag on the Patriots’ last play of the game. After having a conference with another official, the refs picked the flag up and declared “there was no foul on the play” despite Luke Kuechly being all over Rob Gronkowski in the end zone.
The game ended with the Panthers winning 24-20 and Brady running to the refs in the tunnel to ask about the call. Did you also notice Ryan Mallett right there with him? Here are a few looks at the final play to decide whether it was the right or wrong call.
