NFL investigating laser that was aimed at Tom Brady

If the Chiefs defense couldn’t, what chance did a laser have?

The NFL is “looking into” a report by a Kansas City television station that a laser pointer was aimed at New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during the AFC Championship game on Sunday.

KMBC shot video that showed a green dot flickering around Brady’s shoulder and face.

“It didn’t affect the game, as far as we know,” NFL vice president of communications Brian McCarthy said.

According to the television station report, the laser was visible around Brady’s face and shoulder before he threw an interception in the fourth quarter. Police officials in Kansas City told the Boston Herald that they had not received an official complaint, but would pursue it if brought forward.

“We’ve had some issues of lasers around the airport, but not at the stadium,” Sgt. Jacob Becchina, spokesman for the K.C. police department, told the paper.

“We will investigate, though, if we receive a police report.”

The Patriots declined to comment on the report, and the Chiefs said they were not aware of the incident during the game, won by New England, 37-31 in overtime.
