– In a dramatic overtime finish, Buffalo wide receiver Brandin Cooks says he caught a pass that was ruled an interception against the Broncos, a call that swung the OT fate Denver’s way. Ja’Quan McMillan secured the ball on the turnover to end Buffalo’s drive. 🔥
– Cooks insists the catch was clean—“the ball never left my hands”—and critics argue the review time wasn’t enough for such a milestone decision. 🕒
– If ruled a catch, Buffalo likely would’ve moved into field-goal range and had a real shot to win in regulation, changing the game’s momentum and its OT outcome. ⚖️
– The loss contributed to major turnover for the Bills, with owner Terry Pegula stating the decision to part ways with head coach Sean McDermott was tied to the 33-30 overtime defeat to Denver. 💥
– Brandin Cooks joined Buffalo in late November and contributed in both the regular season and playoffs: 5 catches for 114 yards in five regular-season games, plus 5 catches for 78 yards in two playoff outings. 📊
– Takeaway: a painful playoff exit and a controversial finish in OT highlight the Bills’ urgency to rebound and retool after this season. 💪
