"When you design pick plays, every team has different plays where you try to spring someone free in man-to-man coverage. On that particular play, there wasn't even a pick involved. Keshawn was trying to avoid the defensive player and the guy ran into him," Brady told host John Dennis of the D&C Show.
"I don't know if they are trying to judge intention, or I don't know if a defensive player runs into an offensive player when it's an offensive penalty. And secondly, even if we ran into them, it happened, to me, at the line of scrimmage. If it's at the line of scrimmage, or 1 yard beyond the line of scrimmage, it's not an offensive penalty.
"So based on the fact it was the defensive end who hit our receiver, and it happened at the line of scrimmage, I couldn't understand why they threw a flag."
