He was called for defensive pass interference on Buffalo’s scoring drive, which he felt came a little too late.
“You can see how late the flag came out. If it’s a flag, it’s final,” Davis told reporters, via Boston.com. “Like throwing the flag. If it’s not a flag in a close game like this, then you have to let us play, you know what I’m saying? Seeing how late the flag came, I think we’re all thinking the same thing.

“It’s frustrating. You know what’s at stake,” he added. “This game is very close and it comes down to a game of inches, and at that point, you’re either going to throw the flag or you’re not. You don’t take 10 seconds to throw a flag.”
Davis’ penalty extended the drive and three plays later, James Cook ran the ball into the end zone for an 11-yard score. Buffalo took a 35-31 lead and didn’t look back from there.
New England was assessed seven penalties and gave up 65 yards.
