Josh Allen’s pass to Brandin Cooks appeared complete, but controversial interception call ended Bills’ playoff run in 33-30 loss to Broncos.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen delivered the pass that should have won the game against the Denver Broncos, only to have it turn into a freak interception that led to a 33-30 loss.
During overtime of the AFC Divisional Round game on Saturday, Allen threw a deep pass right into the hands of wide receiver Brandin Cooks that would have set up the Bills in game-winning field goal range.
But as Cooks went down to the ground with the pigskin, the ball rolled into a position where Broncos defensive back Ja’Quan McMillian was able to snatch it away for an interception as Cooks lay on his back.
The instant replay review showed Cooks was down on the ground with possession of the ball, which typically would end the play and award the Bills a completion.
