Doug Marlon just talked about that delay a game penalty that his team took. But how about this one? Doug Moran said this was the right call. Barry Church helped the helmet, unnecessary roughness. Now it's Gillette Stadium, so the flags have to come out, don't they, boys? I don't know about in favor of the Patriots right here.

I don't know about this call against A.J. Boyer, but Tom Brady gets them up to the line, scrimmage first and goal. James White, that's an easy walking touchdown. 985 to sports up. We're toucher and rich, and each week at this time. We check in with Boomer aside some CBS sports in the NFL on CBS. Hello, Boomer. Hey guys, good morning. It looks like we're right back where we started, right? What day do you get into Minneapolis? I get into Minneapolis next Sunday night. Same with us. Yeah, so I will see you Monday morning in person, unfortunately. And you will not make fun of me, my appearance. Well, it all depends

on how you look. If you look like you're like, you know, a grunge rocker or something, then I'll make fun of it. But that's a timely reference. I appreciate that. Yes, you're very welcome. I'm sure you're sitting there right now with your, you know, with your matted hair and you've probably got some sort of flannel shirt on.

I could just, I could see it right now.

Yeah, well, you know, my days have passed.

My glory days. Well, Boomer, very controversial. Something you said at halftime. Yes, what's that? I have the quote. It said, it's Gillette Stadium, so the flags have to come out, don't they, boys? And obviously, many people in New England are pissed that you said that, thinking that there's some sort of home cooking for the Patriots. What did you mean by that comment yesterday? What I meant by that comment was the pass interference call on A.J. Boyer, I really thought it was very questionable. For the most part, they let both teams play last night. And that play came right at the end of the

first half. And, you know, it was very questionable play. The hit on Rob Grankowski was certainly a

penalty. Nobody disputes that. I don't dispute that. And certainly would never dispute that,

especially given the fact that, you know, we're all dealing with head injuries in some

respect or shape or form. But at the end of the day, that that was a really questionable pass interference in my eyes. So, you know, when we do half times, I always think about how fans view games. And I always like to point out things that are pretty, I think, obvious that other people are afraid to say. And I'm not. So it's what I thought. It was in my heart,

and I just felt like that was a flag that was unnecessary. But saying that insinuates that there is a track record of that happening at Gillette, that this is a pattern, that they do get these calls that other places don't get. The Gillette Stadium, you see this happen more than in other places. You know, Philadelphia got some calls yesterday. It's one of the reasons why you want to play at home,

you know, and I don't think for any minute or shape or form that the officials are wrong in

their assessments. In other words, I'm not trying to say that, you know, they're bought off or any of

that other stuff. It just, it happens. That's why you have home field advantage. I mean, I probably could probably point to a number of penalties that went against the Patriots when they were on the road at Denver trying to get to Super Bowl 50s. So that's why you want home field advantage. You want the madness of the home fans. You want the crowd on fire. You want to feed off of that energy. And I think both the New

England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles did just that. All right, I'm sorry, my friend.

Was there ever a point in that game where you thought Jacksonville was going to win?

No, I never did. As a matter of fact, you know, I already did a CBS Sports Minute this morning

that basically characterizes the Patriots as relentless.

You've got to play a four-quarter game.

And, you know, you could have the best first half of your life, which is exactly what Jacksonville and Blake Bortles had.

But in order to beat the Patriots in Gillette Stadium, you got to play a full four-quarters.
