However, he acknowledged how bad calls cost him Super Bowl wins.

Tom Brady mentioned, “I don’t think the referees are robots, I don’t think they’re trying to get it wrong. I don’t think they’re always gonna get it right. I feel bad for a guy when they get called something that probably shouldn’t be that way. Sometimes you’ve just got to shake it off. I’ve lost super Bowls because I thought they missed a call. You’re going to get some, you’re going to not get some. You hope they don’t come up but they come up. It’s sports.”
