NFL officials scrutinized over Davante Adams catch — one day after Bills playoff controversy
NY Post
A moving of the goal posts?
NFL fans went off on the officials Sunday during the Rams’ eventual 20-17 overtime win in Chicago, when star receiver Davante Adams went down with the ball, only for the rock to end up in the hands of Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson in what was ruled a catch.
The play, which transpired early in the fourth quarter with the Bears and Rams tied at 10 apiece, triggered the memories of those who watched the Bills’ playoff heartbreak one day prior, when a Josh Allen pass intended for Buffalo receiver Brandin Cooks was ripped from his hands by Broncos cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian in extra minutes and ruled an interception.
Even though it was speculated that Cooks was already down, the momentum swung right back to the Broncos, with Will Lutz’s 23-yard field goal securing the 33-30 triumph.
“The Bills would like to have a word,” one X user posted in response to Adams’ catch.
“Catch? How come Brandin cooks one wasn’t lol so inconsistent,” another posted on X.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.

If Isaiah Likely was the most … er … likely former Raven to follow head coach John Harbaugh to the Giants, Patrick Ricard wasn’t far behind.
The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
