Sunday’s game between the Rams and Bills had everything a fan could ask for, including controversy, highlight-reel plays and all the drama down the stretch. The most controversial play in the game happened to come at the most critical time, too, and it went against the Rams late in the fourth quarter.
With a 32-28 lead, the Rams were attempting to make one last stand against the Bills on fourth-and-9 from L.A.’s 13-yard line. Josh Allen fired in Gabriel Davis’ direction, but the pass fell incomplete.
Then a flag came out, and Darious Williams was called for defensive pass interference. Here’s a look at the call in question, which certainly seemed questionable – especially given the situation.

The Bills are fun, I get it. I love watching Josh Allen, too. But the Rams got robbed on that garbage pass interference call. Game was over.

Hard to not complain about officiating when they insist on deciding game after game.
