The refs aren’t calling a flag on Tom Brady’s latest play.

After the retired New England Patriots quarterback raised eyebrows by stepping into the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching booth during the team’s Sept. 15 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the NFL set the record straight on whether he violated a rule by going into the box.

And according to the football organization, Brady—who is a minority owner of the Raiders and a sports broadcaster for Fox—didn’t break any codes of conduct with the move.

“There are no policies that prohibit an owner from sitting in the coaches’ booth or wearing a headset during a game,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement to ESPN Sept. 16. “Brady was sitting in the booth in his capacity as a limited partner.”

And the league emphasized that Brady was completely within his rights to be wearing a headset in the coaching area. As the spokesperson put it, “All personnel sitting in the booth must abide by policies that prohibit the use of electronic devices other than league-issued equipment such as a Microsoft Surface Tablet for the Sideline Viewing System.”
