Bills cornerback Tre\u2019Davious White was flagged for a 30-yard pass interference penalty that effectively ended Saturday\u2019s game, setting up the Broncos for a chip-shot field goal to win in overtime. Afterward, White insisted he hadn\u2019t committed a penalty and that the officials gave the Broncos a gift call because they were playing at home in Denver.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought that I didn\u2019t interfere with the guy, when the ball got there I swiped through, knocked the ball down, then fell on top of him,\u201d White said. \u201cI think the crowd probably played a big-time factor.\u201d<\/p>\n
White said he doesn\u2019t think NFL referees understand what good coverage looks like.<\/p>\n
\u201cReferees are human and people make mistakes, I just think it should be up to the players to decide the game,\u201d White said. \u201cWhen the game is fought so hard and comes down to the wire, plays like that, that\u2019s a professional bang-bang play. As a defensive back, that\u2019s what you want, take the guy to the ground and finish the play. Referees just don\u2019t know ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
White, who also got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for yelling at an official after the penalty, was more composed after the game but still just as adamant that the officials had messed up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think they had bad judgment on that play,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bills cornerback Tre\u2019Davious White was flagged for a 30-yard pass interference penalty that effectively ended Saturday\u2019s game, setting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-415093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
