For a brief second after Josh Allen's desperate fourth down heave hit the turf at Arrowhead Stadium, the Buffalo Bills had hope. "There is a flag,” CBS play-by-play standby Jim Nantz announced to the masses watching at home.

Interestingly enough, Kevin Harlan and Devin McCourty, calling the game for Westwood One Radio, also said there was a flag on the play, with McCourty speculating that it was for Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins taking his helmet off.

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.
