Dawson Knox, tight end of the Buffalo Bills, took a low catch for a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in the NFL wild-card game at the Highmark Stadium on Sunday.
The ball appeared to have touched the ground while it was in Knox’s hands. The referees, after a review, concluded that the TE did not maintain position and the touchdown was not given.
“Dawson knox hand was under the ball , I’m not sure what they was looking at,” a Twitter user said.
“Dawson Knox 2nd touchdown was a touchdown the evidence was not there to overturn that crap,” another one added.
“That seemed like the proper call on the instant replay reversal. Dawson Knox did not appear to have control of the ball before it hit the turf,” a third one tweeted.
“That Dawson Knox catch is super close. Ruling on the field is touchdown so it has to be definitive to overturn. We’ll see, either way, I expect the Buffalo Bills to cap this drive with a score. Let’s see if we survive another down though,” said another.
Knox signed with the Bills on June 14 after being picked in the third round in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was the 9th overall pick in that season. Incidentally, Knox caught his first NFL touchdown from Josh Allen against the Cincinnati Bengals in September 2019. He ended the 2019 season by catching 28 of 50 targets, covering 388 yards, and scoring two touchdowns.
By 2020, he was a regular in the Bills setup. He played a total of 12 games out of which he started in seven. He caught 24 passes, covered 288 yards, and scored three touchdowns.
Due to his exceptional performance in the first two seasons, he became one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league when the Bills extended his contract for four years on a $53.6 million deal.
