Tom Brady, the new owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, has come under scrutiny for criticizing NFL officials after the ejection of Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch during the game against the Green Bay Packers. Branch was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Melton, a decision that Brady disagreed with, stating that intent should be necessary for such an ejection. This criticism may violate NFL rules that prohibit owners from commenting on officiating decisions. The NFL is considering punishing Brady for his remarks. The ejection of Branch is seen as a HUGE loss for the Lions.
