I too thought the Berry thing was a make up non-call, but the truth of the matter is that the phantom call in Brady's favor gave the Patriots an extra possession, and that possession resulted in a touchdown. The Berry call was only one play during that free extra possession. So it didn't really even out, because the Patriots won as a result of that free drive.
Having said that, it was generally a well-called game. The phantom roughing was one blunder that happened at a generally benign point in the game, so it's unfortunate. I'm not going to blame the loss on that one bad call. It's just a bit frustrating that Mahomes took the same hit earlier and more blatantly, and it wasn't called.
