A KMBC photographer named Turner Twyman caught what appears to be someone pointing a laser at New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during the AFC championship game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
As is well known by now, the Patriots went on to defeat the Chiefs 37-31 in overtime to advance to the Super Bowl.
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

According to ESPN, the NFL will “look into” the report and the Patriots said that while they were aware of the incident they had no comment.
We almost saw the Chiefs receive an unsportsmanlike penalty during the divisional round when a snowball from the crowd nearly hit the Indianapolis Colts punter. Andy Reid was not happy.
Because the laser wasn’t caught by referees in-game, I don’t expect anything to come from the incident.
