"That's pass interference. That's obvious pass interference, Cris. Not a hard question at all."
"Boutte tackled by Humphrey, who slaps the ball away!"
"I don't see a flag, and it was not a catch because it got slapped away."
"Oh, that's a tackle on the part of Humphrey. And the ball never got settled, and then he just swatted the thing away!"
With just over three minutes remaining and trailing 24-21, the Patriots faced 1st-and-10 at their own 44. Drake Maye launched a deep pass to Kayshon Boutte near the end zone. Marlon Humphrey wrapped around Boutte's legs, brought him down and slapped the ball away as Boutte hit his head on the turf. Officials ruled the play incomplete and declined to flag Humphrey for pass interference. The absence of a call nearly negated New England's comeback and triggered immediate national outrage and intense scrutiny due to the potential game-changing implications.
