Brandin Cooks Breaks His Silence On Game-Changing Overtime INT, Reveals The Truth About Whether He Caught It [VIDEO]

Brandin Cooks set the record straight.

Brandin Cooks and the Buffalo Bills were on the wrong end of a controversial call. Josh Allen threw one of his signature bombs down the field, and the veteran wideout came down with the ball. Then, Denver Broncos’ DB Ja’Quan McMillian snatched the ball from his hands.

The referees, shockingly, called it an interception. The Broncos then marched down the field and sent the Bills home with a game-winning field goal.

The play sparked controversy on social media, with most fans calling out the referees. That’s why, now that it’s been almost a week since it happened, Cooks had to set the record straight.

Making an appearaence on “Good Morning Football,” the veteran speedster made it loud and clear, stating that it was 100 percent a catch:

“At the end of the day, it was a catch,” Cooks said. “Not just what it looked like you said, but what it felt like. You see examples throughout there. The league, all year, in previous years, and you’re like, ‘wait a minute, that was a catch.’ (It was a ) no-brainer, like, I think when you look back at it, the time that was spent reviewing it wasn’t enough. And, given the magnitude of that game, and the situation, it’s a little disappointing.”

It didn’t take long before the referees showed their inconsistency. Davante Adams was awarded a catch in a similar situation in the very same round of the NFL playoffs. Unfortunately, the damage was already done.

To say that it’s been a tough couple of days for the Bills would be an understatement. If it wasn’t enough with the loss, they also moved on from head coach Sean McDermott.

Then, to add insult to injury, Bills owner Terry Pegula threw Keon Coleman under the bus in a media conference.

That’s why Cooks wanted to show some support for his young teammate. Despite the struggles, he thinks he can still be a star:

“I’m definitely in touch with Keon,” Cooks said. “When I got to Buffalo, I knew that was gonna be a guy that I gravitated towards to be able to help out. I think Keon can play this game at a high level; I really do. He’s gonna continue to grow. I think he’s also misunderstood. He’s a young kid; he’s still trying to figure it out.”

Coleman will probably be traded, and the Bills have more questions than answers right now. Unfortunately, having an elite quarterback isn’t enough.

And with GM Brandon Beane calling the shots, it’s hard to feel confident about this team’s ability to get it together.
