NFL Fans Upset After Officials Miss Critical Penalty in Buffalo Bills-Denver Broncos Game
NFL officials are expected to be sharp in the playoffs with a shot at the Super Bowl hanging in the balance, but fans found they missed a crucial penalty during Sunday’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. The Bills drove down the field right out of halftime, with quarterback Josh Allen getting the offense within a few yards of a touchdown. On third down, Allen was forced to take a sack because there were no receivers open. However, it was clear that tight end Dalton Kincaid was held in the end zone by Denver Broncos defensive back Patrick Surtain II.
Despite the clear penalty, the officials didn’t throw a flag on the play, and the Bills were forced to settle for a field goal to make the game 13-7. NFL fans were not happy with the lack of a penalty, especially in such a crucial spot. The Bills were looking to stave off any Denver comeback attempt and were able to score a touchdown in the second half to take the lead.
The Broncos had a chance to tie the game but Will Lutz missed a field goal. The game marked the first touchdown for the Broncos since the first quarter, when quarterback Bo Nix started the scoring with a 43-yard touchdown pass to Troy Franklin.
