The Buffalo Bills’ heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs left fans and broadcasters alike questioning a phantom flag that briefly gave hope before being dismissed.

Josh Allen is usually efficient while attempting a quarterback sneak or tush push, as the Gen Z slang quantified it. The Buffalo Bills played bold and went for the sneak twice in the same drive.

Tight end Dalton Kincaid was able to track down the ball but could not haul it in, turning the ball over to the Chiefs who ran out the clock and secured the 32-29 victory. There was a bit of mystery on the play, however, with CBS announcer Jim Nantz saying officials had thrown a flag -- a call that was never explained during the broadcast.

Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.

Jim Nantz will be on play-by-play. He’ll be joined by Tony Romo, who will be the analyst. Tracy Wolfson and Jay Feely will be reporting from the sidelines. That’s it! Enjoy the game!

NFL fans are convinced that the refs were gong to call something on the Buffalo Bills if Dalton Kincaid had completed a catch.

CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology. For nearly two-thirds of that run, Jim Nantz has been a mainstay in the network’s golf coverage.

While the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium erupted in joy, Jim Nantz on the CBS broadcast quickly said there was a flag on the play, giving Bills fans a little bit hope during a very dark moment. But then talk of the flag quickly went away as refs apparently didn't throw one and no penalty was called.
