The NFL commission was a topic of discussion amid the biggest game of the year between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in the AFC Championship.
The Bills were stuck with a 4th and 1 with about 13 minutes left in the game. Josh Allen ran a quarterback to try to reach the first step. At first glance, his teammates’ push seemed unsuccessful to secure a new set of socks.

Play was stopped as officials reviewed the play. The CBS broadcast appeared to show both sideline judges initially disagreeing with the placement of the ball. One official spotted the ball closer to the marker than the other.
The replay appeared to show that Allen may have pushed the ball through the line as he sprawled backwards into the Chiefs defensive linemen. However, officials ruled that Allen did not get the ball at the marker, and Buffalo turned the ball over.

NFL fans watching the game were very critical of the point ball and expressed it as much during the game.
The Chiefs scored on the next drive. Buffalo tied the game on the next possession. However, it was Harrison Butker’s goal and a defensive stop by the Chiefs that ended the game.
Kansas City won, 32-29.
The Allen stop wasn’t the only questionable call of the game. A huge play by Xavier Worthy in the second quarter was ruled a catch despite the ball apparently hitting the ground.
