Even the Mixon TD, which was over turned, could have easily been a delay of game flag on it. There were also multiple holds not called, because in play off games you get away with more. It's not like we were having 40 yard wide open plays. The refs could have easily derailed drives if they wanted to. The fact is they don't.
To turn a 27-10 game into a Buffalo win would've required a good bit of big time calls in Buffalo's favor. An obvious amount. I also don't think the NFL much cares about teams like Buffalo.
I don't think the NFL rigs games like that. At all. I just think if the game is close, and it's a team like the Cowboys against a team like the Lions, and a call is close, they are usually going to call it on the field in favor of Dallas.
Just an example. But outright predetermined games? No.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
