In Sunday night's Super Bowl rematch between the and the , 's offense took its turn getting too cute in the waning seconds. This time, it was the Patriots on the losing end, thanks
Julio Teheran Jersey to a play that many feel should have drawn a flag for pa s interference.Twenty-one months ago, the Seahawks decided against giving the ball to on the 1-yard line and opted to throw a slant to
R.A. Dickey Jersey that was promptly intercepted. This time around, the Patriots ran two Brady sneaks and a run up the gut to before finally trying to hit their best red zone weapon, tight end , on fourth down. Here's what happened:4th and Goal.Brady to Gronk...?Falls incomplete. NFL (@NFL
Danny Santana Jersey ) It's easy to scream, "DEFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE!" because that's the the knee-jerk reaction. For example...KAM CHANCELLOR GRABBED GRONK AND PULLED HIM DOWN. OBVIOUS PASS INTERFERENCE. BUT REFS DIDN'T HAVE GUTS TO CALL IT AND DECIDE GAME. Skip Bayle s (@RealSkipBayle s) But you're going to have a tough time making the case that Gronkowski didn't initiate
Bob Uecker Jersey the contact, and if anything, the no-call was the call. The bigger i sue is the series of play calls that led us to that point. Why are the Pats running Brady from the 2-yard line? Why are they giving the ball to Blount instead of giving Gronk two or three chances to win a jump ball? It was literally minutes before that he did : GRONNNKKKKKKKK!
Atlanta Braves Jersey !!!!WOW. NFL (@NFL) The Patriots' questionable sequence on fourth down isn't the only reason they lost, but you can bet the fourth-down no-call is the play people will be talking about the next day.
