After the game, Jonathan Jones expressed his confusion about the defensive pass interference call, saying, 'Without getting fined, I would like someone from the officiating office and NFL to kind of show where the penalty was.' He emphasized that he didn’t think it was a foul, especially in overtime, remarking, 'It sucks. I kind of feel like that was the play of the game.'
Tyler Lockett, the receiver involved in the controversial call, told Jones directly that he didn’t believe the flag should have been thrown, stating, 'He said that's not a penalty, straight up.' This acknowledgment from the receiver added to the frustration felt by the Patriots players regarding the decision.
Patriots safety Kyle Dugger added his perspective, saying, 'I know there's both physicality going on from them, but I feel like it definitely wasn't called in the right direction.' His comments reflect a sentiment among the team that the officiating in that moment was questionable.
