New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was hyped after making a cut-block on Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White in his team’s 24-17 win in Week 16.
He doesn’t get to do this much after all:

Following the win, Brady, who often takes to social media after games now a days, specifically mentioned his block on White:
White, for his part, is saying the 42-yard-old needs to take it down a notch. He commented to the veteran, telling him to “chill.”
Now, this is probably the sentiment that many folks in Western New York felt, as the NFL has insulated Brady from major hits and earning favorable calls. A clear intentional grounding call was omitted from earlier in the game due to a phantom receiver being on the field.
No intentional grounding here. #34 was “in the area.” #BUFvsNE pic.twitter.com/DgRjXWb071

Questionable calls that go in the favor of Brady lead credence to the league looking the other way at fouls against the Patriots.
Nevertheless, the Bills could face their long-time nemesis in the second round of the playoffs, depending on the results of the Wild Card round.
