1) The Kelvin Benjamin Touchdown

To be fair, the Bills didn’t lose because of this reverse call, but it certainly was a major factor in the outcome of the game. After the catch, there was not enough evidence to overturn it, even Jim Nantz agreed. You saw Benjamin drag his two feet and even saw some specs of turf fly up from the field.

The call was a huge change in the game; it could’ve had the Bills feeling great going into half time when they could’ve had a 17-13 lead. But no, the Bills had to settle for a field goal to tie the game at 13.

It seemed since the controversial call that all the momentum in the game was beginning to shift towards the Patriots.

It certainly did with the Patriots taking full control of the drivers seat in the second half and putting lumps of coals in the Bills players stockings, winning the game by a score of 37-16.
