Buffalo Bills fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Thursday night booed the NFL replacement officials after a blown call on a touchback. Bills punter Brian Moorman kicked a 49-yard punt, which was downed by Buffalo's Ruvell Martin at the Washington Redskins 4 yard line. The replacement Back judge Craig Burd, completely blew the call and with a straight face ruled it a touchback. The Bills announcers were completely lost by the call as well. Brad Smith was the only Bills player to enter the end zone and he never touched the ball. The Bills fans began booing loudly when the ball was placed at the 20 yardline and when the replay was shown on the scoreboard. Bill head coach Chan Gailey had to challenged the play. The call was was reversed shortly by David Scott the replacement head referee. You can watch the video on NFL.com by clicking the link below:
