In Saturday’s Bills-Broncos overtime, officials flagged DPI twice against the Bills on Broncos plays, while a late regulation non-call on a Broncos pass sparked questions about consistency. Referee Carl Cheffers explained the overtime calls as arm-grab and restricted-movement DPI, prompting debate over whether the DPI standard shifted for OT and how it might have affected the outcome if calls had been consistent throughout the game.
