The crowd noise at Arrowhead Stadium may not have been the only adversity that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady faced in the AFC championship game.Turner Twyman, a photographer for KMBC in Kansas City, appears to have caught someone pointing a laser in Brady's face on two separate occasions during the Patriots' win on Sunday.KMBC reporter William Joy posted both of the clips on Twitter.The first instance caught on camera was on a handoff to Sony Michel in the fourth quarter. The previous play was a punt that appeared to have been muffed by Patriot’s receiver Julian Edelman but was later overturned. On the next play, Brady threw an interception that went off Edelman’s hands. On the Patriots’ go-ahead drive late in the fourth, the green light shows up on Brady’s face on a pass to Chis Hogan and a 25-yard completion to Rob Gronkowski. Laser researcher Dr. Charles Cobb, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri at Kansas City’s Department of Periodontics, said that, based on the size of the spot, the person was probably sitting far back in the end zone, possibly in a corner.“That one looked pretty diffuse, which implies to me it’s probably a laser pointer,” Cobb said. “He would’ve been seeing spots out there instead of his receivers.”Cobb said the Federal Aviation Administration has been dealing with issues involving people using similar lasers to blind pilots in plane cockpits. “This is enough. If it hits the retina of the eye for just a short period of time, it could cause damage to the retina,” he said. “I don’t think lasers should be shined at anything except under surgical conditions or if you’re giving a talk.”KMBC said it contacted the Chiefs, the Patriots and the NFL’s media relations department, and none of them were aware of the incident.A representative from the NFL league office told WCVB that they will look into the matter.
