NFL fans were not impressed with Cris Collinsworth’s call during a play that may go down as one of the best plays of the season, if not the best.
NBC Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth managed to reference Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce during a stunning play from Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen during Sunday night football.

Allen added to his MVP resume against the San Francisco 49ers.
The 28-year-old became the first quarterback to throw a touchdown, rush for a score and catch a touchdown in the same contest.
Two of those touchdowns, the passing and the catching, occurred on the same play in the third quarter when Allen threw a pass to Amari Cooper.
The wide receiver passed the ball to Allen, who then ran into the end zone.
The rarely seen play caused Collinsworth to shout “No!” in disbelief as Allen dove for the pylon and scored the touchdown.
Collinsworth then added: “Didn’t that just happen?” before really disappointing fans with his comment.
“How many times have we seen something like this in Kansas City and… Travis Kelce” he said of the piece.
Collinsworth pointed to Kelce and other Chiefs players’ talent for getting the football in the way after a pass from Mahomes.
Fans complained about Collinsworth’s call to play on social media.
“HOW did Cris Collinsworth see Bills land, praise TRAVIS KELCE and say, ‘That was Kansas City magic?!?!?!?! He must be doing it on purpose now,’” one person wrote.
“Only damn Collinsworth manages to bring up Mahomes/Kelce (while describing a crazy Josh Allen game),” another added.
“Cris Collinsworth, there’s no chance you just brought up Travis Kelce and the Chiefs,” a third commented.
“I hate you Cris,” a fourth added.
Allen and the Bills dominated the 49ers, beating them by a score of 35-10.

The victory gave the Bills their tenth win of the season.
