Tom Brady risks facing NFL backlash after Brian Branch ejection criticism

   

Tom Brady may have put himself in a tough position on Sunday after he made critical comments about a call in the Lions-Packers game. 

Due to Brady’s status as a minority owner of the Raiders as well as an analyst on Fox for NFL broadcasts, the quarterback great has certain rules that he has to abide by in the booth. Fox commentator Tom Brady may have opened himself to NFL backlash after he was critical of Brian Branch's ejection on Sunday.

One of which is that Brady can’t criticize the refs during a broadcast and the seven-time Super Bowl champion may have crossed that line while on air on Sunday. 

Lions defensive back Brian Branch was controversially ejected from the game after a hit on Packers’ wide receiver Bo Melton. 

The decision came from the review center in New York and not from the officiating crew on the ground in Green Bay, which led Brady to agree with the penalty called on Branch, but question the decision to kick him from the game.
