Blame the refs or blame the NY Jets? It doesn’t really matter

Set the scene, New York Jets fans:

October 30, 2022, at MetLife Stadium. Jets leading the Patriots 10-3. 0:37 remaining in the second quarter. Patriots have a first and 10 from the Jets 25. Mac Jones drops back and releases a short pass to Tyquan Thornton, which Michael Carter II intercepts. As Carter II picks the ball off and takes off the other way for six, the referee throws a flag. Of course, it’s roughing the passer on John Franklin-Myers. The Patriots score a field goal on that drive to pull within 10-6 and eventually win the game 22-17.
