""It was not [a catch]. We caught it. Denver caught it, that time," Leonhard said. "I'll have a different opinion here very soon. Once this season, to me, it's still the '25 season. That Super Bowl hasn't been played yet, so I have to have a little bit of loyalty there but ask me in another week and I'll give you a different answer.""
""I'm [speaking on officiating process] because I'm standing up for Buffalo, dammit. I'm standing up for us," McDermott said. "What went on, that is not how it should go down in my estimation. These guys spend three hours out there playing football, pouring their guts out to not even say, 'Hey, let's just slow this thing down.' That's why I'm bothered.""
Jim Leonhard acknowledged a conflicted stance on the overtime interception that ended the Buffalo Bills' 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos, noting current loyalty to Denver with a likely change of opinion soon. Brandin Cooks appeared to catch Josh Allen's downfield pass, but cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian knocked the ball away as Cooks went to the ground and secured the takeaway. The Bills never regained possession and the season ended on Denver's ensuing drive. Sean McDermott angrily criticized the officiating and review process for not slowing the game to review the play. Two days after the game, McDermott was fired. President of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane maintained a position on the matter the following week.
