Deshaun Watson laughs about Patriots officiating
The New England Patriots are making their second straight trip to the Super Bowl after a 24-20 comeback win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Though the Jaguars' questionable play-calling played a role in the loss, NFL fans were quick to point out some egregious and odd officiating moments.
Even Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson had to laugh.
The Patriots were called for one penalty during the game. And there's nothing that fuels the "refs love the Patriots" narrative more than a ref smiling with a bunch of Patriots. Watson noticed the screenshot on Twitter and openly laughed at the joke.
Saints receiver Michael Thomas also enjoyed the jokes.
