CBS got Buffalo Bills fans' hopes up on Sunday after Josh Allen's incomplete pass to Dalton Kincaid, with the score bug signaling that a flag had been thrown on the play

“There is a flag,” CBS play-by-play standby Jim Nantz announced to the masses watching at home. Kevin Harlan, calling the game for Westwood One Radio, echoed the call. Except, no penalty had been called. The play would count. The Kansas City Chiefs were one clock-killing drive away from a third straight Super Bowl.

Nantz is aware not only of the Chiefs’ quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, but their attempt to join the New York Giants as the only teams to appear in a title game five times in a six-season span.

Viewers were left confused when the "flag" graphic popped up on the screen following what became the Bills' final offensive play of the contest even though no penalty had been called.
