Video appears to show laser pointer aimed at Brady late in AFC title game
Video captured by a Missouri-area cameraman appears to show a laser pointer being flashed on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during the fourth quarter of Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
Our photographer, Turner Twyman, caught someone pointing what appears to be a laser pointer in Tom Brady's face last night. Play between the "muff" that wasn't and Sorensen int. @NFL, @Patriots and @Chiefs all told me they weren't aware of the incident. pic.twitter.com/ejWBQ6i64C
