Jerry Hughes and Tom Brady have gone at it on the field the past 5 seasons.
As the Patriots come into Orchard Park this Sunday, Jerry Hughes started this morning with a bit of questioning.
Tom Brady had a series of tweets during Thursday night football.
Too many penalties. Just let us play!!!! #TENvsJAC

Brady complaining about a number of holding calls, turned the game off.
ESPN posted an article this morning on VP of officiating Al Riveron and conference call Saturday night with referees.
Holding penalties in the NFL plummeted Sunday following a conference call between senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron and referees.
Officials threw 41 flags for offensive holding in 14 games Sunday, an average of 2.9 per game, according to ESPN Stats & Information. In the first 33 games of the season, there were 188 such flags — a rate of 5.7 per game.
Hughes quote tweeted the article, asking if Brady has a lot of pull in the league.
Holding calls plummet after call to referees…….. after reading this article it appears Tommy has a lot of pull in the NFL. Interesting🤨🤨🤗 https://t.co/a4wvKBeFzU
