The NFL Hot Seat: After officiating debacles with Patriots and Dolphins, will NFL ever get it right?

Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores ran across the field after his team lost, went right to the nearest official and told him with an expletive what he thought of a pass-interference reversal that cost his team a win. And you thought that would be the worst moment for the NFL officials on Sunday.

If there’s one truth about the NFL, it’s that the officials can always lower the bar. On Sunday they deserved every word Flores said to them, and whatever Bill Belichick said to them too.

Sunday’s New England Patriots loss turned into a fiasco.
