The officiating in Sunday's loss to the Bills was a topic of conversation for Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel on Monday morning.

The Patriots ultimately settled for a field goal at the end of the half to make the score 24-7. The defense allowed touchdowns in four straight possessions in the second half, while the Patriots scored just one more touchdown, resulting in a 35-31 loss.

Mike Vrabel conveniently forgot about a holding call that actually did negate a Josh Allen touchdown as he complained about officiating inconsistency following New England's collapse.

You have to hand it to the New England Patriots. Their path back to relevance after a dynasty took a full...well, half decade. Usually, when teams lose a quarte

The Patriots were victimized by the ability and determination of Allen. The quarterback led a second-quarter touchdown drive to get the Bills on the board as they went into the locker room trailing by a 24-7 margin. However, the Bills were rejuvenated in the second half and they scored on their first four drives in the final 30 minutes.

One other penalty that didn’t count due to it being off-setting - Rhamondre Stevenson’s third quarter matching unnecessary roughness flag with Buffalo’s Matt Milano - didn’t sit well with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel.

Any of these seven candidates could be considered worthy of the award, but the Patriots' and 49ers' coaches have the strongest case.

Pittsburgh Steelers' longtime head coach Mike Tomlin unfortunately heard less than desirable chants during Week 13’s loss at home to the Buffalo Bills.
