Saturday's Bills-Broncos playoff game was an absolute whirlwind, a true thriller of a postseason contest that ended with Denver eliminating Buffalo in overtime, 33-30. But one play above all others has lingered despite the craziness after the game in which Bo Nix was revealed to have a broken ankle and Josh Allen broke down crying at the podium: the OT battle for possession between Bills wideout Brandin Cooks and Broncos safety Ja'Quan McMillian that ended in a key Denver interception.
In case you missed it, on the Bills’ first possession of overtime Allen heaved a deep ball to Cooks. McMillian went up to contest the pass and both players ended up grappling for possession of the ball on the ground. Once they landed, McMillian popped up with the ball and the referees on the field ruled it was an interception. Despite replay showing it wasn’t a clear and obvious call, the officials didn’t spend much time reviewing the play and kept the ball in the Broncos’ hands; they’d go on to win the game and the Bills never saw the ball again.
