Todd Bowles lashes out at officials: 'Thought we were playing 2 teams'

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Todd Bowles, not known for complaining about questionable calls, lashed out at the officiating Sunday after a penalty-marred overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers at MetLife Stadium.

"I thought we were playing two teams," a visibly upset Bowles said after the 44-38 loss. "I thought we were playing the Packers and the striped shirts."

The Jets committed 16 penalties for 172 yards -- both league highs -- including a 33-yard, pass interference call on cornerback Trumaine Johnson that set up the Packers' winning touchdown.
