 <\/p>\n

Tom Brady has sided with those who believe Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was given an unfair advantage during the Divisional playoff against the Houston Texans.<\/p>\n

Brady spoke out about the penalties called against the Texans who attempted to be physical with Mahomes, only for them to be shocked when being hit with a penalty.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The now-Fox Sports analyst and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders even pitched a rule change to go along with his view.<\/p>\n

\u2018When quarterbacks become running backs, and they\u2019re out of the pocket, they should lose their protection,\u2019 Brady said Thursday on \u2018The Herd\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u2018We\u2019re 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\u2019re trying to say the referees should do it?\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Three controversial plays involving Mahomes have been the lasting image from the Chiefs victory last Saturday.<\/p>\n

One resulted in a penalty to Will Anderson Jr. after he hit Mahomes in the upper chest and face mask.<\/p>\n

Another penalty was given to Henry To\u2019o To\u2019o after he and a Houston teammate hit Mahomes while he slid with little time to avoid contact.<\/p>\n

Mahomes also appeared to embellish contact on a fourth-quarter play as well, without any of the yellow laundry hitting the turf.<\/p>\n

\u2018The reality for me is offensive players need to protect themselves. If they\u2019re running full speed and the defender\u2019s coming up \u2013 the only way to turn the ball over is to create force,\u2019 Brady said. \u2018You\u2019re not going to blow on the football and knock its way out of a running back\u2019s hands or a quarterback\u2019s hands.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019ve gotta go there with force and knock it out. You\u2019re trying to create turnovers. You\u2019re trying to disrupt the passer. You\u2019re trying to dislodge the ball. The only way to do that is with force. There needs to be an aggressiveness to doing that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Brady will not be at the Chiefs AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills, as he\u2019ll be calling the other game with a Super Bowl bid on the line between the Commanders and Eagles.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether he\u2019ll be as critical on the air about any incident involving Jayden Daniels or Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you don\u2019t wanna get hit, you can go down, you can run out of bounds. But you can\u2019t, in essence, have the defensive player come in at half speed, and then you run over the defensive player because he\u2019s afraid of getting a penalty,\u2019 Brady said.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s a disservice to the game. It\u2019s something that I\u2019d hope people really address. Not that anyone\u2019s trying to take advantage of the rules, but they\u2019ve gone to a point where it does impact the quality of the game.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
