The Dolphins got two field goals in before Buffalo took their game to 17 points.
Brad Allen, referee for the game, was trolled on social media for being allegedly biased towards Josh Allen and co.
“So nfl refs are missing obvious penalties that’s would help the dolphins out what’s new. Refs will screw this game for the dolphins,” a Twitter user said.
“Brad Allen is dumber than a rock. & @NFLOfficiating gave him a playoff game smh #CantFixStupid,” another one said.
“More like… Brad Allen: Incompetent Ass,” a third one tweeted.
Dawson Knox took a low catch for a touchdown. The ball appeared to have touched the ground while it was in the tight end’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.
