The NFL's decision to shift the DPI (Defensive Pass Interference) standard during the Bills-Broncos overtime game has sparked controversy. Through 60 minutes of regulation, no flags were thrown for pass interference. However, in overtime, two flags were suddenly called against the Bills, one for a 17-yard gain and another two plays later. This sudden change in the standard is raising questions about consistency and fairness. The issue is not just about the calls themselves, but the fact that the rules seemed to change mid-game. If the plays in overtime were interference, then the play late in regulation should have been interference as well. This could have potentially changed the outcome of the game. The Broncos benefited from all three of the most important interference calls and non-calls, while the Bills had none. This raises concerns about the fairness and consistency of the NFL's officiating. It's crucial for the league to ensure that the rules are applied consistently throughout the game to maintain the integrity of the sport.
