Bills Legend Jim Kelly Calls for NFL Investigation into Adrian Hill's Referee Crew After a Series of Unfair Calls Targeting the Bills in the Texans Game
Buffalo, New York. 21/11/2025
Week 12 at Highmark Stadium was supposed to be a pivotal moment for the Bills in their playoff push. Instead, it became one of the most disputed games of the entire season. Buffalo fell 23-19 to the Houston Texans in a suffocating atmosphere, and most of the outrage wasn’t directed at the players — it was aimed squarely at Adrian Hill’s officiating crew.
Throughout the game, three specific calls ignited fury across Bills Mafia:
-
A blatant DPI no-call when Stefon Diggs had his jersey grabbed on a 3rd-and-8 sideline route late in the third quarter.
An ignored illegal contact on Dalton Kincaid in the red zone during the fourth quarter.
And most infuriating of all, a roughing-the-passer penalty called on Von Miller despite him barely brushing CJ Stroud’s shoulder — a call that directly extended a Texans scoring drive.
Bills fans called it “a systematic string of errors,” while analysts labeled it “a disastrous night for officiating.”
But everything escalated when Jim Kelly — the most revered figure in Bills history — stepped forward publicly.
Speaking to ESPN, Kelly delivered a powerful and uncharacteristically sharp message:
“I’ve seen the Bills through every era, but rarely have I seen our fans hurt by something so unfair. One or two mistakes can happen, but when the errors pile up at every critical moment, it’s no longer about competence — it’s about transparency. If the NFL truly cares about its reputation, it needs to step in immediately.”
According to team sources, owner Terry Pegula was “so furious he called the NFL immediately that night,” demanding a full explanation of every decision made by Adrian Hill’s crew.
The backlash grew so intense that Commissioner Roger Goodell convened a 12:50 A.M. emergency meeting with the officiating oversight department and the league’s video operations team. They were instructed to review every controversial play involving the Bills.
This marked the second time this season Goodell has ordered a middle-of-the-night meeting — a sign of just how serious the situation had become.
While the NFL has yet to release an official statement, many analysts believe this could evolve into the league’s largest officiating investigation of the 2025 season.
At this point, it’s not just Bills Mafia watching. The entire nation is waiting. Because after what happened in Week 12, the issue is no longer about a single game — it’s about the integrity and fairness of the NFL itself.
