Just read this:
“…….
Making matters worse is the latest rumor about who the head official is likely going to be for the game, and that is Adrian Hill, who called just one game for the Patriots in 2025.
The problem is that it was the Week 6 game against the Saints, which saw a ridiculous amount of penalties and touchdowns taken away from DeMario Douglas. Although they inevitably won, it was still a frustrating way to get there, and now they'll have to deal with the crew that loves to throw flags at the start of the year.
MSN article:
Not sure I agree with their later comment “The Patriots have had a habit of racking those up with avoidable missteps, making Hill's presence even more relevant.”
I think that is a bit recency (Mayo) bias. Not sure “Vrabel” teams have this tendency, in game 1, or otherwise, but not looking up Titans penalty stats just to prove a MSoron wrong, thank you!

The NFL can't help but screw over the Patriots in their brutal season opener
As if playing in a season opener on a Wednesday night in Seattle wasn't bad enough, the NFL decided to give the Patriots another challenge they'll have to overcome by putting the crew of officials who called the second-most penalties in the entire league last year in the game.”MSN article:
