Back-to-back weeks with overturned touchdowns have people joking about the Patriots’ relationship with referees
The Patriots once again benefitted from a controversial call Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills — just one week after the officials nullified the Steelers’ potentially game-winning touchdown to preserve New England’s 27-24 victory at Heinz Field.
Whether its in jest or in scorn, many have started wondering if the Patriots and referees are in cahoots.
