Cooks Disputed Overtime Catch Still Haunts Him

Bills wide receiver Brandin Cooks insists he had possession on a disputed overtime catch in Denver that would have sent Buffalo to AFC Championship, but NFL upheld interception ruling.

During overtime of the divisional playoff game in Denver, Bills wide receiver Brandin Cooks had a catch at the Broncos' 20-yard line that would have set up a game-winning field goal. However, Denver's Ja’Quan McMillian stripped the ball for an interception, and the Broncos won with a field goal on the next possession.

The NFL confirmed the interception call, but Cooks believes he had possession and was down before the ball was dislodged. He told Tim Graham of TheAthletic.com he stopped watching replays to avoid negative mood, adding: 'I still feel like it was a catch.' Cooks expressed frustration with the call and subsequent controversial plays. macnevers-and-co.beer
