The Bills were screwed when the officials missed an obvious horse collar tackle on the Eagles.

The Buffalo Bills are ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles late in the first half in a game that could turn their season around. Unfortunately they're not getting any help from the officials, as a blatant horse-collar tackle on quarterback Josh Allen went uncalled.

The play came as the Bills faced second-and-goal at Philly's 3-yard line. Allen dropped back and Haason Reddick had a great rush to get to him, but as he grabbed Buffalo's quarterback, Reddick hooked him from behind and yanked him down. It was a clear horse collar tackle.

Here's the full play:

Another look at a replay:

Officials completely missed that call and instead hit Allen with an intentional grounding penalty, moving the ball back to Philly's 16-yard line. Two downs later, a field goal attempt was blocked. So, yeah, the Bills got screwed. The NFL needs to pass on some notes to these officials.

Luckily for Buffalo, Allen & Co. were able to score a touchdown just before the half to take a 17-7 lead into the half.
