The Bills gave up 14 points Denver on two plays directly because Jackson and Savage were forced on the field, literally.
Bo Nix sacked 0 times in 46 pass attempts in large part because $12.6m Bosa and $7m+ Ogunjobi were absolutely invisible.
Josh threw an OT interception because this team relied on 32-year old journeyman WR Brandin Cooks to make the biggest plays.
The wrong guy got fired.
The reason the INT call last night in Denver was clearly BS is because this same NFL, given the same rule language, reviewed and decided Shakir DID satisfy 3c on 12/14, but somehow Cooks last night—given the identical rule language—didn’t. And Cooks inarguably exhibits control Shakir never had. So the NFL set their precedent. Then ignored it.
It isn’t about what the rule says and if you feel Cooks fell short of what you think the football move control text of 3(c) means. It’s that the NFL created precedent (in the Shakir play and others in 2025) of what constitutes the control element. But then decided to interpret it far differently to decide the AFC Divisional.
If that one is pass interference so was the one right before overtime. They might have deemed that uncatchable but that’s bullshit. Bills should have been first & goal in that final drive. Horrendous call. Not to decide a game. Complete bullshit. Not even a Bills fan.
