NFL fans rip refs for missed call in Bills-Broncos playoff game
NFL officials are expected to be sharp in the playoffs with a shot at the Super Bowl hanging in the balance, but fans found they missed a crucial penalty during Sunday’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos.
The Bills drove down the field right out of halftime. Josh Allen got the offense within a few yards of a touchdown. On third down, Allen was forced to take a sack because there were no receivers open. But there was a reason why no pass-catchers could break away from their defender.

Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid appeared to be held in the end zone by Denver Broncos defensive back Patrick Surtain II. The officials didn’t throw a flag on the play and the Bills were forced to settle for a field goal to make the game 13-7.
Head referee Bill Vinovich was seen talking to Allen before Buffalo kicked the ball away.

NFL fans were not happy with the lack of a penalty, especially in such a crucial spot.
Buffalo was looking to stave off any Denver comeback attempt. They were able to score a touchdown in the second half to take the lead. The Broncos had a chance to tie the game but Will Lutz missed a field goal.
Bo Nix started the scoring with a 43-yard touchdown pass to Troy Franklin in the first quarter. The Broncos haven’t scored since.

Ex-NFL star Robert Griffin III faces backlash over Justin Herbert post after Chargers QB's playoff loss
Former NFL star Robert Griffin III faced backlash for his post about Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert following the team’s playoff loss to the Houston Texans.
Herbert was roasted on social media for his performance. He was 14-of-32 with 242 passing yards. He had one touchdown pass and four interceptions in the 32-12 loss.

Griffin added to it with his post on X.
"The national media better hold Justin Herbert accountable for his playoff performances like they do to Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott," he wrote.
Griffin’s remarks didn’t exactly resonate as he was accused of turning the critiques of Herbert into a conversation about race.
PATRIOTS AGREE TO MAKE MIKE VRABEL NEXT HEAD COACH
Neither quarterback mentioned has appeared in a Super Bowl.
Lamar Jackson’s struggle to win big games has been chronicled. He led the Baltimore Ravens to the AFC Championship Game last season but failed to get past the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson is 3-4 in seven playoff appearances. He has 1,499 passing yards, eight touchdowns and six picks.
Dak Prescott has been injured a few times in his career, which has derailed the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff hopes. He’s 2-5 in seven playoff starts. He had 1,962 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and seven picks. The Cowboys haven’t made it to the conference title game since the 1995 season.
Herbert was praised for having a bounce-back season under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh. But his lack of success in the postseason has been highlighted. He’s 0-2 in two playoff appearances since he entered the league in 2020.

Marcus Freeman’s stock has increased as he’s led the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the brink of its first national championship since 1988.
The Chicago Bears appeared to have been watching Freeman closely.

The Bears want to interview Freeman for their head coach position after parting ways with Matt Eberflus in the middle of the 2024 season, the NFL Network reported Sunday. The Bears have not made a decision on Eberflus’ replacement but have been going through the interview process.
Freeman first will have to game-plan for Notre Dame’s national title game against Ohio State. The Fighting Irish narrowly defeated Penn State to get there.
"Obviously unlikely he would entertain NFL overtures prior to that game – a week from tomorrow against Ohio State," NFL insider Tom Pelissero said on the network. "But the Bears have done extensive research for months on Marcus Freeman. He’s only 39 years old. It would not be a shock that at some point he at least considers going to the NFL."
PATRIOTS AGREE TO MAKE MIKE VRABEL NEXT HEAD COACH
Chicago is still set to interview Minnesota Vikings’ Brian Floires, Washington Commanders’ Kliff Kingsubury, Baltimore Ravens’ Todd Monken and Pittsburgh Steelers’ Arthur Smith for the job, according to the NFL Network.
Freeman was named as Brian Kelly’s replacement at Notre Dame after the former head coach took the LSU job.
He is 33-9 as head coach of Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are 14-1 this season after going 9-4 in his first full year in 2022 and 10-3 in 2023.
The Bears were 5-12 in 2024 with Caleb Williams in his first season under center.
