An NFL refereeing crew has been moved out of a primetime game this week after they infuriated players, coaches and fans with a penalty-filled outing in Week 7.

Alex Moore's crew of officials really got under the Green Bay Packers' skins in Week 7, and Tom Brady was squarely in their corner, disputing call after call during a flag-filled showdown that the Detroit Lions won 20-17.

As a result, Football Zebras reported that Moore's crew has been moved off this week's Sunday Night Football showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders.

Instead, they will take the much less heralded game between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

Brady, the superstar QB-turned-TV commentator, took issue with multiple debatable calls by Moore's crew at Ford Field that had the Packers flummoxed.

'You can't keep tacking on 15 yards,' an exasperated Brady said on Fox's broadcast after Green Bay defensive tackle Karl Brooks was flagged for roughing the passer late in the fourth quarter, one of several questionable rulings in the marquee matchup, most of which went against the Packers.

Fox brought in rules analyst Dean Blandino, the former NFL vice president of officiating, who concurred with Brady: 'This is teach-tape tackle. That's not roughing the passer.'

Brady and Blandino also disputed the other roughing-the-passer penalty on the Packers, although not as forcefully, when defensive end Brenton Cox Jr was flagged in the third quarter.

A delayed intentional grounding call on Packers quarterback Jordan Love had Brady and play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt confused.

'Tucker Kraft was right there' Brady said, adding it was 'certainly in the direction' of the tight end and 'definitely not grounding.'

'They really missed that call,' Brady added. Burkhardt called the flag 'crazy' and Blandino agreed with their analysis.

'So we ruled that although the quarterback was outside of the tackle box, the pass did not make it to the line of scrimmage,' Moore told a pool reporter after the game. 

'So, that's where the intentional grounding came in.'

Moore said the ball couldn't merely be in the direction of Kraft and that 'it has to actually reach where he is if it doesn't get to the line of scrimmage' to avoid an intentional grounding penalty.

'That is not grounding,' Blandino said on the telecast.

Brady also took issue with a call against Detroit, suggesting Lions linebacker Derrick Barnes didn't deserve an unnecessary roughness flag for bumping running back MarShawn Lloyd after a pass sailed over Lloyd's head.

'He's just turning his right shoulder away from it,' Brady said. 'That's allowed 99 out of 100 times. It's a bang-bang play. When you're on the field, you've got to pursue that ball. If he catches it, he needs the force to knock him on the ground as a pass defense.'

In the third quarter, Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown got tackled after catching a pass, then started running again before defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt chased him and brought him down. Wyatt was called for unnecessary roughness, and Jared Goff threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams two plays later.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur and Wyatt said after the game that they didn´t hear a whistle before St. Brown got up.

'We ruled the play was over,' Moore told a pool reporter. 'I can't honestly hear if there was a whistle or not, but the tackler made the tackle, the play was over. Then, there was an additional action, and he basically tackled him again with force after the play was over.'

'Yeah, well, there was no whistle blown,' LaFleur said. 'And the guy continued to run. And our guy didn't hear a whistle. He continued to play, too. And then we get called for penalties.

'So, I don't know. They were trying to tell me that the play was obviously dead. I'm like, "How do you know if you don't hear a whistle?"'
