4. I didn't have a dog in the fight, but did anyone else think Denver's interception was a bad call?

10. no dog either. I thought is was a good call...my rationale is that, IMHO, he was going to lose the ball on the landing.

There's gonna be a ton of slo motion pics on that one for sure but to me, it looked like a wrestling match and the receiver never really had possession when he was on his back so he wasn't down by contact.

6. I was rooting for Buffalo, but I think all three of those close plays were called correctly.

The two defensive pass interference calls and the completion to Cooks that turned into a recovered fumble. Not sure why they don't allow challenges in overtime, though.

9. It looked to me as Bill's receiver was down by contact before Denver stripped the ball.

11. Gene Steratore disagrees with you on this one. He didn't have full possession yet (IIRC).

7. I was wondering what happens in a divisional contest if nobody scores in OT.

13. They go to a second overtime, and then a third.

In the playoffs, that is. In the regular season, the game is scored as a tie.

…challenges are not allowed after the two-minute warning of each half or throughout any overtime period.

12. It isn't sudden death anymore. It's overtime.

Back in the day, sudden death meant the first team that scores, wins. That is no longer the case. After Denver punted and Buffalo turned the ball over (or, more accurately, the Broncos took the ball away), at that point "sudden death" became the situation.

There are no coaches challenges permitted in overtime.
