Cardinals vs. Bills (Photo via CBS)
Football fans are destroying NFL refs for a terrible non-call at the end of the Arizona Cardinals-Buffalo Bills Week 1 game on Sunday.
The Cardinals were trailing 34-28 with 32 seconds left and in a position to stun the Bills at Highmark Stadium, facing a 4th-and-7 situation. Unfortunately, that’s where the NFL refs took center stage in another thrilling game.
Kyler Murray attempted a deep pass near the goal line to Greg Dortch, but he was unable to make the grab thanks to some (obvious) physical contact by Bills cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram:
That resulted in a turnover on downs, as the Bills barely hung on for a six-point victory. That controversial finish predictably led to a plethora of angry reactions from fans, who accused the NFL refs of rigging the game:

For what it’s worth, head referee Tra Blake and his officials actually penalized the Bills (nine times for 65 yards) more than the Cardinals (five times for 31 yards). Nonetheless, the Bills got away with blatant pass interference on a penalty that would have likely resulted in a victory for the visitors.
Arizona will try to avoid an 0-2 start when they head back home to host the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. The Bills have a short week to prepare for a visit with Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football”.
NFL Refs Are Already Stealing The Headlines
Unfortunately, NFL officials stealing the headlines because of controversial calls/non-calls is nothing new. The refs were also a talking point in the Baltimore Ravens-Kansas City Chiefs Kickoff Game on Thursday after missing several clear-as-day false starts against the defending champions.
The NFL has had plenty of time to improve its officiating system, such as expanding the replay system and/or adding a sky judge. But the league appears more than happy with the current system and the performance of its refs, so don’t expect anything to change.
