Gene Steratore chimes in on controversial Broncos-Bills officiating
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos won 33-30 in overtime against the Buffalo Bills in the NFL divisional round, with controversial officiating playing a significant role in the outcome.
- A key disputed moment was Ja'Quan McMillian's interception, which Bills coach Sean McDermott believed was a catch by Brandin Cooks, but the NFL confirmed the interception after review.
- Former NFL referee Gene Steratore agreed with the interception call but criticized the lack of an official review announcement and questioned one of the pass interference penalties called against Buffalo.
- Steratore affirmed that the second pass interference penalty on the Bills was correctly called, while noting that a missed holding call on Buffalo in the end zone could have awarded Denver a game-winning safety earlier
