Now that he is retired, former New England Patriots captain Matthew Slater can enjoy the little things. The little things such as ripping NFL officials.
Appearing on ex-teammate Julian Edelman’s Games With Names podcast, Slater spoke about one call in particular that grinds his gears to this day. He was flagged for running out of bounds in a 2021 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Patriots ended up losing the game against the Buccaneers and former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady 19-17.
“I want to specifically call out the crew that was reffing our game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021 for calling me for running out of bounds when I forced a fumble and we lost the game to the Tampa Bay Bucs,” Slater said, as transcribed by Zack Cox.
