Tom Brady was coy Friday when reporters questioned the New England Patriots quarterback about his tweet concerning the officiating in the game between the Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars.
During the game, Brady tweeted “Too many penalties. Just let us play!!!!” He followed that tweet with another one a few minutes later, saying “I’m turning off this game. I can’t watch these ridiculous penalties anymore.” However, he chose to say he was “pro-refs” when questioned.
According to ESPN, there were 15 penalties in the first half of that game called by referee Shawn Hochuli’s crew, eight of which were for holding. There were 20 penalties in total for the game, including declined penalties; no flags were thrown in the third quarter.
