Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were on the receiving end of a pretty beneficial call by the officials on Sunday night.
Tampa Bay topped Buffalo, 33-27, on Sunday evening.
The Buccaneers beat the Bills in overtime, when Brady connected on a 50-plus yard game-winning, walkoff touchdown pass.
A couple of plays earlier, though, the Bucs were on the receiving end of a beneficial penalty call by the officials.
This was somehow called pass interference:

That cannot be pass interference. Even a former NFL official admitted as much.
This is not defensive pass interference. The receiver creates the contact. It is especially noteworthy given what was not called late in regulation on the Buffalo 3rd & 2 play. https://t.co/jQpWye03IO

The rest of the NFL world is pretty furious with the call, too.
Think we all knew Brady would get the pass interference call that wasn’t called before…#BUFvsTB #Bills pic.twitter.com/EfcfR4xjNp

Tampa Bay improved to 10-3 on the season with the big win on Sunday, while Buffalo dropped to 7-6 on the season with the loss.
Bills fans won’t be forgetting about that pass interference penalty anytime soon, though.
