JerseyBills Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I read an article from a mainstream non sports outlet recently and they gushed over the ratings a NE/TB Superbowl would do compared to all others. Although Dallas vs Buffalo was 3rd best. Bottom line, I'm worried the NFL has this in mind , I mean the storylines would be endless. The ratings a once in a lifetime occurrence. It would not surprise me the least bit to see the refs heavily favor NE in a gm where a couple of holding calls could make a huge dent.

That paranoia is justified, when it comes to officials. All goes back to....."Just give it to 'em." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
