Right but he didn't have possession of the ball. It was moving...never in his control. That's what they explained anyway
Very disappointing ending to what was a very entertaining game.
Bills screwed around all day. Deserved to lose but I’m not sure you can steal a ball from someone on the ground.
Buffalo… 5 turnovers… you didn’t deserve to win. You allowed the refs to decide the game
The Broncos’ offense basically consisted of throwing balls up for grabs and relying on PI penalties; they’ll be exposed against whatever NFC team that they play in the Super Bowl.
My thought is the receiver never secured the ball and the ball never touched the ground. Was it scored a pick?
I didn't see it that way, but I don't think anyone could really tell. It looked like Buffalo had possession and was down before the Bronco took the ball. Just my 2 cents.
Denver is not that good. You win the TO battle 5-1 and yet they need PI calls in OT to win the game?
Josh Allen was one throw away from winning this game four or five times.

It also seemed like the refs tightened up their pass interference calls on Denver's last possession. They were more lenient for the possible PI in the end zone by Denver against Buffalo.
That’s kind of the story of his career in the playoffs. He’s my favorite NFL player to watch, but I’m beginning to think that he’ll never make a Super Bowl.
That's fair. I'm just explaining how the refs ruled it. I think that's one that however it was called on the field was going to hold up. Wish it would have gone the other way
He came down with the ball
And his back hit the ground. DB bounced on him and rolled over to take the ball. That is a catch in my book.
There also was as much pi on that play then the ones they called later with that being said cooks fumble when they could have really jumped on them killed
I can’t see either NE or Houston going into Denver and winning; NE probably isn’t ready and Houston doesn’t have the offense. Buffalo probably was the only team that had the playoff experience and the best player in the game to beat them in Denver. With that said, this Denver team will lose badly to either Seattle or the Rams if they play them.
I just didn't see it or interpret it the way the ref did. He caught it and was down on his back. Can't take the ball after a completed pass and the player is down.
They let them play all game. Except for the one that decided the game. That contact was nothing compared to the whole game. Very unfair call IMO.
True, but the refs kept the flag in their pocket the whole game. Why call those PIs then? Bills
lost a TD on what should been an obvious PI. Since when do you take a ball from a guy laying on the ground and its a turnover? NFW, Bills got hosed bad!
I wanted Buffalo to win but the DPI on White was blatant IMO. I was hoping they'd ignore it
What was the obvious DPI that took away a TD from Buffalom. Cooks quit on the route which is why there wasn't a call if that's what you're referring to
He absolutely slowed up on the route then slowed up and was grabbed after that. If he doesn't quit on it he gets the call. I hate Denver...you're just wrong here
