The New England Patriots did not lose 31-17 to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday because of the officiating. That does not mean, however, that there were no calls deserving of some in- or postgame scrutiny.
Whether it was a ticky-tacky holding call against J.C. Jackson that helped set up a Miami touchdown, some questionable shifts by the Miami offense, or a non-call on a clear helmet-to-helmet collision that knocked wide receiver DeVante Parker out of the game, New England had every right to be unhappy with the refereed after the game. However, no unhappiness was expressed out in the open.
