"Carlton Davis:"You either throw the flag or not. You don't take 10 seconds to throw the flag. If it's a definitive flag, throw it. If not, let us play." https://t.co/ZnvX3kMBZQ- Brian Hines (@iambrianhines) December 14, 2025"
"While the call itself was very polarizing, the flag coming so late made things really questionable. That also speaks to the polarization of the penalty; if it was a clear pass interference, the referee would have had the yellow marker on the field in a heartbeat."
"The Patriots were absolutely dominated in the second half, and the defense had no answer for Josh Allen and James Cook."
The Buffalo Bills erased a 21-point deficit to beat the New England Patriots 35-31, with a late-game pass-interference flag on Carlton Davis giving Buffalo a new set of downs and the eventual lead. The penalty flag arrived several seconds after an apparent incomplete pass, prompting Davis to criticize the timing rather than the call itself. The Bills mounted five straight touchdown drives beginning on their fourth possession and dominated the Patriots in the second half, exposing New England's defense and producing strong rushing production to secure the comeback victory.
