Flag Day is a United States holiday celebrated each year on June 14. This year, it was celebrated a second time.
That second celebration took place on October 12. It only took place in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was really only celebrated by Patriots fans at the end of the team's 25-19 win over the Saints at the Superdome. And it almost wasn't celebrated at all.
Thankfully, New England was able to overcome some awful officiating--as well as some accurate officiating regarding mistakes the team made on both sides of the ball--to secure their third win in a row. The last two of those three? Road wins. Impressive.
Flag Day: The Sequel
Bob Socci joined Toucher & Hardy as he does Mondays at 9 a.m. after every Patriots game to share his takeaways from the Sports Hub broadcast booth. The big story was indeed the officiating (and his broadcast partner's bombastic reactions to said officiating).
Setting that aside, the win was another big step forward for the Mike Vrabel-led Patriots and emerging star QB Drake Maye. Watch Bob's segment above, watch the show's instant reaction below, then hit the Sports Hub YouTube channel for more analysis all week long.
