"It's not ideal to blame the referees for a loss or any bad call/no-call, but their work in the Patriots' game this week was so egregious that even NFL analysts and insiders were commenting on it. By the end of the game, they had taken away over 100 yards and a touchdown from the Patriots with a phantom call on Stefon Diggs, who was not ready to let it go when speaking to reporters."
"Stefon Diggs is taking the right approach to another questionable penalty during the Patriots' win While speaking to reporters after the game, Diggs shared his intention of reviewing the game footage, specifically the play in which he was called for offensive pass interference that wiped away a 61-yard touchdown pass to DeMario Douglas. Stefon Diggs said he hasn't reviewed the two OPI penalties but hopes to have the tape submitted to the league to see what they think.- Mark Daniels (@ByMarkDaniels) October 12, 2025"
Patriots entered the game favored and secured a win against the Saints despite a poorer performance than the previous week. NFL officials made multiple controversial calls that hindered New England's offensive progress, including a phantom offensive pass interference that erased a 61-yard touchdown and contributed to over 100 yards being revoked. NFL analysts, insiders, and fans reacted negatively to the officiating, amplifying scrutiny. Stefon Diggs intends to review game footage and submit the play to the league office for evaluation. Fans welcomed the attempt to contest the penalty and voiced strong displeasure with the referees' performance.
