Tom Brady's criticism of officials tests limits of what a team owner can say

Tom Brady is facing potential scrutiny from the NFL regarding his role as a Raiders minority owner after he openly challenged officiating decisions during a recent broadcast. League regulations prohibit team owners from making disparaging remarks about the integrity of referees or being excessively critical of their performance.

During a game in Detroit, Brady repeatedly questioned roughing the passer penalties involving Brenton Cox Jr., Derrick Barnes, and Karl Brooks, while receiving support for his views from rules analyst Dean Blandino. The league must now determine if these on-air comments crossed the threshold into prohibited territory.
