Officiating in the spotlight after Patriots-Broncos
http://www.csnne.com/new-england-pat...triots-broncos
* With 11:40 left in the fourth quarter, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady appeared to hit receiver Keshawn Martin on a 51-yard completion to put their offense on the Denver 30-yard line. Instead, rookie right guard Tre' Jackson -- playing in his first game since suffering a knee injury in Week 8 -- was called for a hold on Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller. Jackson appeared to get an arm outside of Miller's shoulder pad, prompting a flag from one of the members of Tony Corrente's officiating crew. Two plays later, the Patriots punted from their own 10-yard line.
* Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski picked up his fifth offensive pass interference penalty of the season with 5:22 left in the fourth quarter. He had been called for an additional pass interference penalty in the second quarter, but it was wiped away due to an off-setting penalty.
Gronkowski did not appear to push off on the fourth-quarter play, but there was contact with a defender at the top of his out-route that was deemed illegal. The penalty pushed the Patriots back to their own 15-yard line, and two plays later, they were forced to punt.
* Later in the fourth quarter, with 1:25 left, it looked like Patriots defensive lineman Alan Branch dropped Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler for an eight-yard sack. However, once again, there was a flag on the field at the end of the play. Patriots safety Patrick Chung, who was in coverage on Demaryius Thomas, was called for holding after giving Thomas' jersey a quick tug near the goal line. One play later, Andrew Caldwell caught a four-yard pass from Osweiler to take a 24-21 lead.
* During the final drive of regulation, with 40 seconds left, Brady hit tight end Scott Chandler for 10 yards and a first down. The clock was stopped after Broncos defensive lineman Malik Jackson suffered an injury and needed a moment to jog off the field. Officials announced that the Broncos, who were without timeouts, would be charged an "excess timeout." That bumped the Patriots play clock back up to 40 seconds, but when the ball was set, officials once again wound the clock. Patriots coach Bill Belichick was incredulous on the sidelines, appearing to argue that since a "timeout" was called, the clock should not have been re-started until the ball was snapped. Two plays later, Brady found Brandon LaFell for 14 yards to get the Patriots within field goal.
