I remember the hit Mumphrey took and the flag came out. He gave out more than he got and I said to those around me, given the way the refs were killing us "What do you bet they'll flag us for hitting the defenseless defender?" Instead, they just picked up the flag.
This was the same crew that worked the Chiefs game where we similarly screwed on seemingly every call. We aren't a good enough team to win when two teams are against us. Granted, they made a lot of bad plays all on their very own but it seemed every good play was greeted with some ticky tack foul to negate the results,
That's why I say if the NFL were serious about punishing the Patriots, all they have to do is assign the same crew that works the Texans games and negates every positive play. Watch every catch by Gronk negated by some holding or hand-to-the-face bs. That'll fix them.
