Sean McDermott calls out refs after controversial Brandin Cooks ruling

Emotions are high in Buffalo after the Bills fell short in a controversial overtime period in Denver, leaving another season ended by heartbreak. Controversy is the word of the night for Bills Mafia, who saw officials flag the Bills three times in overtime and rule an interception in favor of Denver without much explanation for the players.

Josh Allen said after the game he received no explanation for why his deep pass intended for Brandin Cooks, his final pass of the night, was ruled an interception for Ja'Quan McMillian instead. On the broadcast, CBS Rules Analyst Gene Steratore said that Cooks lost control of the ball on the way to the ground, allowing McMillian to come away with the ball.
