Tom Brady complains about officials stopping clock in last second of win over Cowboys

This should go over well outside of New England.

Following the Patriots’ 13-9 win over the Cowboys that was aided by a late phantom tripping penalty against Dallas, Tom Brady was the one complaining about officials.

The Patriots got the ball back holding a four-point lead after Dallas turned the ball over on downs with 1:49 remaining in regulation.

Patriots fail to run out the clock

After nine plays and all three Cowboys timeouts, New England faced fourth down at the Dallas 15-yard line with five seconds remaining. Instead of inviting the risks involved with a field-goal attempt and an ensuing kickoff, the Patriots opted to try to run out the clock.
