One of the turning points in Sunday's AFC championship game was also arguably the most controversial.
The Buffalo Bills, facing a fourth-and-short while down by one point early in the fourth quarter, called a QB sneak for Josh Allen. Allen appeared to get past the line to gain amidst a slew of Kansas City Chiefs defenders but was pushed backwards by the end of the play and the ball was spotted short of the first down. The Bills' challenge and an overhead camera view appeared to show Allen clearly getting well past the marker, to the extent even CBS rules official Gene Steratore expressed his belief that Allen got the first. But the referees on the field didn't agree.
