New England Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon may get fined by the NFL for his latest tweet about the referees from their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
DEC. 17 ‘NO LIES’ – The New England Patriots dropped to 3-11 on the season thanks to the 27-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the defeat didn’t come without some controversy, as veteran Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon expressed his feelings about the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes getting special treatment from referees.
“I see no lies,” Judon wrote in response to a tweet that featured a photoshopped picture of Mahomes kissing a referee.
The fake photo of Mahomes obviously implies the Chiefs benefited from favorable calls came in response to a video of the defensive holding penalty called on New England during the Chiefs’ opening drive of the second half that negated a fumble recovery by Jabrill Peppers.
This comes just a week after the NFL fined Mahomes and Chiefs coach Andy Reid for their public criticism of the referees’ controversial offside call in their 20-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Pats clearly had a handful of jersey on the play, albeit briefly and seemingly unaffecting the outcome of the play.
