Look, you already knew that the Josh Allen fourth down run was a first down in the Buffalo Bills’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday even though officials said it wasn’t, eventually leading to the Chiefs taking the lead and winning the game.
But if you needed further proof that the NFL needs to implement first-down technology so that this doesn’t happen, here you go: Jomboy — known for the best MLB video breakdowns and lip reads in the biz — used the wonders of video editing to figure out how bad this was. And you’ll see it’s definitely a first down, along with the inexact science of officials running to the spot.
