US EditionGood Morning, Buffalo: Jay Skurski: The NFL has an officiating crisis
- On Jan. 17, 2026, the Buffalo Bills were eliminated by the Denver Broncos in overtime, 33-30, after Josh Allen's deep pass to Brandin Cooks was ruled an interception by Ja'Quan McMillian following a rapid replay review.
- Critics noted the replay process lacked transparency as Sean McDermott, Bills head coach, demanded answers, saying `They deserve an explanation' after NFL replay assistants confirmed the call quickly.
- Turnovers dominated the box score as Josh Allen committed four of Buffalo's five turnovers and several key penalties, including on Spencer Brown and Tre'Davious White, shifted field position.
- With McDermott and Allen together eight seasons, Brandon Beane's roster moves have strained Bills Mafia and raised questions about Buffalo Bills ownership's direction.
- The disputed catch immediately revived discussions about the catch rule as the Cooks–McMillian play echoed other controversial rulings and analysts predict it will be debated for years.
