WATCH: Emboldened NFL refs, now blatantly celebrating Patriots TDs
This stat says it all: Jacksonville, six penalties, 98 yards. New England, one penalty, 10 yards.
And, below, the referees aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. #Jokes.
The Patriots were called for 1 penalty against the Jaguars
It is the fewest penalties called on one team in a playoff game since the 2011 AFC Championship… when the Patriots were called for 1 penalty in a win over the Ravens
