Bills’ Game-Clinching Play Over Dolphins Sparks Controversy

The final play of Sunday’s BillsDolphins wild-card game sparked a controversial reaction over whether or not Bills running back Devin Singletary passed the first-down marker on his game-clinching run.

The official call was that Singletary succeeded on his third-down run, but the play quickly went under review as the call was debated on social media.

The announcers on the CBS broadcast seemed to be surprised with the call, as Jim Nantz said it looked “a foot short” before the officials marked it as a first down. But the call stood, essentially ending the game as a 34–31 victory for the Bills, who will advance to the divisional round.
