Brady, who was on the receiving end of some of the same criticism as a player in the middle of the Patriots dynasty, knows everything involved with the Chiefs is under a microscope due to their on-field prowess. The now-Fox Sports analyst and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders even pitched a rule change to go along with his view.
'When quarterbacks become running backs, and they're out of the pocket, they should lose their protection,' Brady said Thursday on 'The Herd'. 'We're trying to protect the quarterbacks, but coaches are calling more quarterback runs than ever in the history of the game. So, who is protecting the quarterback? We're trying to say the referees should do it?'.
Tom Brady has given his thoughts on the controversies surrounding Mahomes and the Chiefs. Mahomes has been under fire for the last week about receiving unfair advantages from refs. Three controversial plays involving Mahomes have been the lasting image from the Chiefs victory last Saturday.
