C. Bills HC Sean McDermott Blasts Officials, Cites Eight Controversial Calls and Labels It the Biggest Rigged Game in NFL History
The Buffalo Bills’ season ended in devastating fashion, falling 33–30 in overtime to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round, but the final score was only part of the story.
In the aftermath, head coach Sean McDermott delivered one of the angriest postgame responses of his career, openly challenging the integrity of the officiating crew and the process that decided Buffalo’s fate.
McDermott pointed to what he described as eight separate moments where calls or non-calls shifted momentum, altered field position, or directly erased scoring opportunities for the Bills at critical points of the game.
The most controversial sequence came in overtime, when a third-down pass appeared to be completed by Brandin Cooks before being wrestled away. Replays showed Cooks’ knee on the turf while controlling the ball, yet officials ruled no catch and awarded possession to Denver.
According to McDermott, that single ruling changed everything. What should have been first-and-goal instead became the turning point that ended Buffalo’s Super Bowl hopes.
“I don’t mind losing a football game,” McDermott said. “I do mind losing it like that. When you slow it down, freeze the frame, and still refuse to see what everyone else can see, that’s not a mistake — that’s taking the game out of our hands. Our players earned better than that today.”
The frustration didn’t stop there. McDermott also referenced multiple defensive pass interference calls on the Bills’ final defensive stand, arguing that his defenders were being penalized while simultaneously being pushed by receivers.
For a game that was largely clean and physical through four quarters, the sudden flood of flags in the closing moments left the Bills sideline stunned and furious.
Inside the locker room, players echoed their coach’s disbelief. Veterans described the loss not as a failure of execution, but as a game that slipped away due to decisions beyond their control.
McDermott stopped short of naming individual officials, but his message was unmistakable. In his view, this wasn’t just a bad night — it was a historic failure that demands accountability.
Whether the league responds or not, the damage is done. Buffalo’s season is over, and what many believed was the franchise’s clearest path to the Super Bowl has been reduced to controversy, anger, and unanswered questions.
For the Bills, this loss will linger not because of a missed tackle or a turnover — but because of a belief that the outcome was decided long before the final kick sailed through the uprights.
Trump Sparks Outrage After Calling Jan. 6 “Biden’s FBI Operation” — Critics Remind Him He Was President at the Time
Washington, D.C. – October 12, 2025
A fresh political storm has erupted in Washington after President Donald Trump claimed that “Biden’s FBI” planted hundreds of undercover agents in the crowd during the January 6 Capitol riot — a statement that immediately triggered disbelief and backlash, even from some of his own allies.
In a late-night Truth Social post, the President wrote:
“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!!”
The remark went viral overnight, prompting widespread confusion since Trump himself was president on January 6, 2021 — not Joe Biden. Commentators quickly accused the President of distorting historical reality
and deflecting responsibility for the events that occurred under his administration.
Political analyst Keith Olbermann responded sharply, posting on X:
“Trump doesn’t remember or believe he was president on January 6. That’s how unstable this situation has become — calling it ‘Biden’s FBI’ when he had already run the Bureau for 1,448 days.”
The post from Olbermann has already amassed over 15,000 likes and 4,000 shares, reigniting debate about Trump’s mental state and command over his own narrative.
Inside the White House, sources reportedly described a “tense morning” as advisors scrambled to clarify the President’s intent. One senior aide, speaking anonymously, said:
“He meant the FBI as it operates today — under influence Biden left behind. But the statement was poorly worded and misunderstood.”
Opponents, however, were less forgiving. Democratic lawmakers have called the statement “deeply alarming,” arguing that it shows a sitting president willing to
rewrite history for political gain.
The controversy comes at a sensitive time for the Trump administration, already facing mounting scrutiny over intelligence leaks and ongoing January 6 investigations.
Whether the President’s claim was a deliberate jab or another social media misfire, the fallout underscores the fragile political climate in Washington — and the growing uncertainty surrounding the leader’s grip on his own legacy.
