Buffalo Bills WR Brandin Cooks was involved in a controversial play in overtime against the Broncos, where he reeled in a downfield pass from Josh Allen but Broncos cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian emerged with the ball. The play was ruled an interception, which became the game's decisive turnover. Replays showed Cooks initially caught the ball, but referees ruled he did not have possession to complete the process of the catch, specifically 'surviving the ground.' This contentious interception was among a string of controversial calls in the game.
