The only thing that went the ' way in the first half of Sunday's AFC Championship game might have been the officiating.After Erick Aybar Jersey being shut down on offense for nearly the entire first half, the Patriots finally scored a touchdown late in the second quarter after drove them 85 yards on just six plays. However, the key play on the drive wasn't anything Brady did, it was a pa s interference call that went against cornerback A.J. Bouye.On a first-and-10 play from the Jaguars' 45-yard line, Brady dropped back to Nick Martini Jersey pa s and threw a ball up for , who was being covered by Bouye.Folks... this is Defense Pa s interference now.... Laurie Fitzpatrick (@LaurieFitzptrck) On the play, Bouye ended up getting flagged for pa s interference, which ended up being a 32-yard penalty that took New England down to the Jaguars' 13-yard line. The official's decision to flag Bouye didn't sit well with anyone on Twitter. Most people watching the game at home wanted to know why the Jags' corner was being penalized for perfect coverage. This coverage was so dominant that they basically threw a pity flag for Cooks. Crushed off the field Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) What a BS bail Greg Garcia Jersey out call by the officials on that Bouye pa s interference. Awful call trying to keep the Patriots in the game. Typical. Bolt Base (@BoltBaseDD) That wasnt pa s interference by any criteria FOST (@GeorgeFoster72) So good coverage is pa s interference? Wow. Verone McKinley III (@vmckinley3) That was the worst pa s interference call Ive ever seen basic mitch (@DrunkTrubisky) That pa s Trey Wingenter Jersey interference call was garbage people. Not even remotely catchable David Cochrane (@CochraneCBC) The bottom line is that there was definitely contact on the play, and that's a flag that an official is probably going to throw more often than not.The Patriots made the flag pay off when they scored a touchdown two plays later on a one-yard touchdown run by . The Brad Hand Jersey score cut the Jaguars' lead to 14-10 at halftime. You can . |
