The turning point of Buffalo’s 23-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons came on a controversial referee decision for a fumble recovery touchdown by Tre’davious White. In the third quarter of the game, Matt Ryan’s arm was hit by Jerry Hughes, sending the ball forward in a way that looked more like an incomplete pass, but no whistle was blown, and the Buffalo Bills found themselves back in the lead. Furthermore, the Falcons were flagged on the return for a personal foul penalty, pushing the kickoff point forward fifteen yards. The Falcons were reeling, and with a 14-10 lead, it was a perfect opportunity for the Bills to go for the throat.
