After a 29-yard run by running back Isiah Pacheco to get to the 3-yard line, Patrick Mahomes passed the ball to receiver Mecole Hardman, who was ruled down at the 1-yard line. However, the Bills challenged whether he held on to the ball long enough to go down.

After further review, Hardman fumbled the ball before he was ruled down and the ball rolled into the side of the end zone for a touchback, which could potentially save Buffalo's season.
