Tom Brady called the Lions-Packers game for FOX on Sunday, and he was not happy with the officiating.

Detroit won 20-17 at Ford Field on Jake Bates’ 22-yard field goal with one second left.

Brady disagreed with at least two flags along the way. Officials penalized Lions linebacker Derrick Barnes for unnecessary roughness with about 10 minutes left and Detroit leading 17-14. Barnes had hit Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd after a dropped pass.

“What?” Brady asked. “There’s no way.” 

“Come on. That’s allowed 99 out of a hundred,” he added.

Trey Smack’s 43-yard field goal tied the game at 17 with 7:10 left. Another call frustrated Brady on the Lions’ final drive. Officials flagged Packers defensive lineman Karl Brooks for roughing Jared Goff. 

“No. My goodness. What is that?” He said. “It’s definitely not roughing the passer.”

Brady called the hit on Goff a “bang bang play.”

The flag marked Green Bay’s eighth roughing penalty this season, while opponents have been flagged for none. The loss leaves them 4-3 and in last place in the NFC North.
