The Patriots getting favors from refs will always be a thing as long as Tom Brady plays in the league.

Just before the team took the field at NRG to take on the Houston Texans, cameras caught the Patriots players coming out, with one of them giving a pound to a ref.

Seems harmless, but it’s the Patriots and social media thought this was fishy.
