Dungy, in an interview on NBC Sports Network, had called the Patriots' tactic "nothing but an intent to deceive and they are doing it very well." Current Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that his issue was with the officials allowing a defense to match up once an ineligible receiver is announced.
During Super Bowl XLIX media availability Wednesday, McDaniels was asked a question about uptempo offense as it related to deception and using ineligible receivers, and he interrupted the interviewer to make his point.
