"Should have been a penalty for him standing over him after the play was over," a fan wrote.

More fans joined in as the penalty was called on Denver.

"How was that a penalty on Denver? LMAO," a fan said.

Mack Hollins and Buffalo Bills’ strong ground game gave them the lead over the Marvin Mims' Denver Broncos

In the first quarter, the Broncos scored quickly when Bo Nix threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Troy Franklin. The Bills had trouble finishing drives in the red zone and settled for a field goal after Josh Allen missed a couple of passes in the end zone.

The Broncos' defense made it tough for Buffalo, but the Bills stayed on track with a tough 13-play, 81-yard drive, which ended in James Cook’s five-yard TD run.

Just before halftime, the Broncos were close to adding a few more points.

Nix led the team down the field and a key pass to Courtland Sutton put them in field goal range. However, Wil Lutz's 50-yard field goal attempt hit the upright as time ran out.
