    Refs fist bump

    Either it was nothing, or they were excited about screwing over the Bills.

    Two officials bump fists after Broncos TD, NFL says nothing wrong

    After Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson scored against the Buffalo Bills, two officials very clearly bumped fists.

    If you’re a Bills fan or player, that’s not what you want to see after a 24-17 loss.

    There’s no way that two officials (line judge John Hussey and umpire Carl Paganelli, as identified by the Associated Press’ Eddie Pells) were celebrating a Broncos score in broad daylight, but Buffalo defensive back Aaron Williams was not amused.

    No excuse for my performance but can’t win playing 16 vs 11 thought I seen it all Smh

    The fist bump was bound to draw an overreaction, and the NFL put a stop to it right away by saying that there was nothing wrong with what happened.

    “It was an acknowledgment of good mechanics between the two officials involved in making the call,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora told the AP.

    You can see on the video at the top that the two officials communicated to make the right call of if Anderson got across the goal line, which he did. It was obviously just two guys working, just like the players, to do their jobs well, and being happy they got the call right.

    But since it’s a lot more fun to create conspiracy theories on social media, it’s a big deal. And, at least, you can see why the Bills wouldn’t be all that thrilled to see it.

    Dumb move on the part of the officials. They have to be aware that they cannot be seen as looking to be partial to either team.

    Just plain stupid on their part and that is not surprising considering the stupid things I’ve seen out of game officials this season.

    Grits
