The better team won tonight. Newton played better than Brady. Panthers defence stepped up during the Patriots' final drive to hit Brady to the turf.
-hurts to see my Patriots lose. -gotta give credit to the Panthers for the win.
However, I gotta say that the refs blew the call on the last play.
That was pass interference! The Panthers linebacker had both arms wrapped around Gronkowski. Brady had a legitimate complaint to the refs about the non call.
I saw the last play and the replay twice. -Regardless of what the football analyst says in the video link below, the refs made the wrong call.
How do you threw a flag in the end zone and then say there was "no foul?" Bullshit!
Newton's clutch pass to McGinn, his ability to run the ball, and Panthers' defence stepping up their game was the difference.
