Patriots news: N'Keal Harry calls out referees for blown call that took away his TD catch

The Patriots and N'Keal Harry have now lost consecutive games. Many believe the heralded franchise should certainly hit the panic button.

The New England Patriots and N'Keal Harry have now lost consecutive games. Many in the football world believe the heralded franchise should certainly hit the panic button.

With the Patriots most recently coming up just short at home against the Kansas City Chiefs, New England found themselves on the wrong end of multiple blown calls by the game's officiating crew — especially rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry.

Harry and the Patriots were robbed of a touchdown late in the game, a score that could have changed the outcome of the eventual loss for New England.

While it initially seemed as though Harry cleanly scored a touchdown while staying in bounds, the referees thought otherwise. With replay confirming that Harry scored without issue, everyone but the officials were seemingly notified.

It is also worth noting that because of the blownc all, the Patriots were forced to settle for just a field goal on that possession rather than a very important seven points.

Now with three losses on the season, the Patriots and N'Keal Harry have lost back-to-back games and currently sit behind the surging Baltimore Ravens in the AFC standings. With the two-loss Ravens, who have already beaten the Patriots, sitting atop the standings, New England would be the No. 2 seed if the postseason started today. Although there is a lot of season left to be played, the Patriots will more than likely finish behind Baltimore if New England keeps up this stretch of mediocre play.

If the Ravens finish ahead of the Patriots and N'Keal Harry, a potential postseason matchup between these two franchises would notably take place in Baltimore.
