Cooks Still Believes Playoff Catch Was Valid

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Brandin Cooks still believes he made a catch in last week's overtime playoff loss to the Denver Broncos, despite the NFL confirming the play was an interception.

In overtime of the divisional playoff game in Denver, Cooks had what he believes was a game-winning catch at the Broncos' 20-yard line that would have sent Buffalo to the AFC Championship Game. Denver's Ja'Quan McMillian ripped the ball out for an interception, and the Broncos kicked the game-winning field goal. h-doctor.club

"I still feel like it was a catch," Cooks told Tim Graham of TheAthletic.com. He mentioned watching the replay for a week straight before deciding to stop to avoid negative moods at home. "After it happened, seeing some of the so-called controversial calls that were called a catch, I just had to turn the playoffs off," Cooks said.
