That is the question that dominated conversations around the NFL world on Sunday night after the Bills survived an upset bid from the Giants following a questionable sequence on the last play of the game.
With New York down 14–9 on the one-yard line, Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor fired a pass to tight end Darren Waller, who leapt in an effort to secure the ball with Bills cornerback Taron Johnson draped over him in coverage.

A José Altuve baserunning gaffe proved costly for the Astros during their ALCS Game 1 loss against the Rangers on Sunday, ending the eighth inning prematurely with the team trailing by two runs.
In a 2–0 game, Alex Bregman launched a ball to deep left-center field at Minute Maid Park that appeared to have a chance to go over the wall. Bregman was admiring the shot out of the batter’s box, and it seems Altuve also was under the impression that his teammate had gone yard.
