NFL Investigating Green Laser Pointed At Tom Brady During AFC Championship
BOSTON (CBS) - Tom Brady and the New England Patriots may have overcome a major distraction during the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday night. It appears someone inside Arrowhead Stadium was shining a laser pointer at Brady during the game.
It's not clear where the laser comes from, but videos posted to Twitter by KMBC reporter William Joy show the green light shining on Brady's face as he hands the ball off to running back Sony Michel and when he completes a pass to wide receiver Chris Hogan.
Our photographer, Turner Twyman, caught someone pointing what appears to be a laser pointer in Tom Brady's face last night. Play between the "muff" that wasn't and Sorensen int. @NFL, @Patriots and @Chiefs all told me they weren't aware of the incident. pic.twitter.com/ejWBQ6i64C
