And perhaps the worst roughing the passer call I’ve ever seen, the defender slaps Brady’s shoulder pad before the pass was even thrown. Horrible.

The Perfumed Prince should never be touched. The new name of the penalty is Roughing the Brady.

It was an awful penalty call. But ones just as bad happen several times a season...and to the Patriots defenders too. As much as the meme is out there about Brady being so protected, he’s generally in the middle to bottom quarter of QBs getting Roughing the Passer calls.
There was an ESPN article posted a few days ago that put it at 28 calls since the beginning of 2009. That’s 2.8 calls per season.
