Referees in Bills-Patriots Monday Night Football game were brutal

He hit Danny Amendola for 18 yards, then Brandon LaFell for 24.

After shouting the name of the Buffalo coach as an audible, Brady led New England to a 20-13 victory over the Bills on Monday night and kept the defending Super Bowl champions undefeated. Once again, the Patriots had their struggles, especially with the offensive line. “I think we can play better”, quarterback Tom Brady said after his 25th win in 28 starts against the Bills. “And just making sure everyone’s focused, and letting them know I’m focused, and they need to be focused, and that we can all be more focused together”.

“Like always, we have come up short many times, being here where you think you’ve got them [the Patriots] on the ropes”. Along with Carolina QB Cam Newton, Brady is considered one of the favorites to win the MVP award.

“Yeah, we have a lot of things that are kind of in the playbook, so that’s one of them”, Brady told reporters after the game. Brady was only sacked once but was hit numerous times.

That prolonged New England’s scoring streak, but it came to an end at 38 in a row when the Bills shut them out in the fourth.

Danny Amendola, who replaced injured Julian Edelman as the primary possession receiver and caught nine passes for 117 yards, suffered a knee injury in the third quarter after fellow receiver Aaron Dobson went out with an ankle injury. It will be good to get a good week of practice with all the guys who go out there and play and then you try and cut it loose and see if what you’re doing is good enough for that particular week and it some point you have to try and get some guys back healthy and playing back in their normal positions. Amendola was wide open and on his way to a 70 yard touchdown, but a referee blew a whistle, accidentally, which ended the play. Buffalo fell to 5-5. Now covering his beloved hometown team, his knowledge and passion for pro football has resulted in multiple fantasy football championships.

National Football League dead ball instructions are discussed in Rule 7, Section 2, Article 1 of the National Football League rulebook.

On 4th and 6 from the BUF 32, Bills receiver Sammy Watkins (3 catches for 39 yards) bailed out his team when he caught an 8 yard pass along the sideline at the the BUF 40 to give them a first down.

It appears that the official ruled that Watkins “gave himself up”, by intentionally going to the ground.

However one official from referee Gene Steratore’s crew, line judge Gary Arthur, blew his whistle inadvertently.

— On the inadvertent whistle, the source said officials were looking to “appease both sides” with their ruling of a 14-yard catch and 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

However, the Bills tied it back up when LeSean McCoy capped a 27-yard run by diving at the pylon in the third quarter.

New England placekicker Stephen Gostkowski added to his team’s lead, with a successful 35 yard field goal that he sent to the right middle area of the uprights.

On the first drive of the second half, Brady and company got flat-out jobbed.

In the third, both teams fumbled on the same punt. New England’s Jonathan Freeny picked up the ball and ran 5 yards before he lost the ball and it bounced out of bounds.
