VIDEO: DeAndre Hopkins Clearly Mugged by Bills Defender to No Avail as Refs Swallow Whistle

Disregarding Bill O'Brien's idiotic decision to challenge pass interference (which is very rarely overturned in the first place), the Texans got robbed on their first drive of the Wild Card round against Buffalo. DeAndre Hopkins was pretty clearly held on a third down play, but the officials opted to swallow the whistle, and then upheld that decision via replay.

While the challenge was a stupid choice, it shouldn't have come to that in the first place. Technically, this was a hold, rather than PI, so the officials leaned on that explanation as to why they couldn't make the right call despite replay review. Instant replay cannot overturn holds. We kid you not.

Prepare yourselves, this is only the beginning.
