Furious football fans already think the Buffalo Bills-Jacksonville Jaguars Wild Card Round game has been “rigged” after interesting data about the officials surfaced.
The NFL announced its referee assignments for the six Wild Card Weekend games. Brad Allen, an NFL official since 2014, will work the Jacksonville Jaguars’ home game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday (1:00 p.m. EST).
Disgruntled fans, however, already think that Allen’s crew has “rigged” the game in favor of Josh Allen’s Bills.
As noted by Billy Heyen of The Sporting News, the Bills have won their last six games with Brad Allen as the referee. On the flip side, the Jacksonville Jaguars have gone 6-8 in games called by Allen.
So, you can probably guess how fans are reacting on social media.
“Brad Allen and team are cooking some bogus calls against jax right about now,” wrote a user.

“@PatMcAfeeShow can anyone explain how Brad Allen gets the Jaguars and Bills playoff game when he blatantly lied after his horrible job Saturday at Tampa? This guy shouldn’t even have a job in the @NFL right now,” a user stated.

Brad Allen admitted a mistake after officiating the Carolina Panthers-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game last week. Carolina went on to win the NFC South anyway. Still, that mistake has really left him under the microscope for Sunday.
