Were the refs rooting for the Donkos?



DENVER (AP) - After C.J. Anderson bulled in for his second touchdown of the day, the Broncos celebrated. So did the refs.

Moments after Anderson's 1-yard touchdown in the second quarter of Denver's 24-17 win over Buffalo on Sunday, line judge John Hussey and umpire Carl Paganelli fist bumped after making what turned out to be the correct call.

Bills safety Aaron Williams wasn't amused. After the game, he linked the video of the officials' reaction to a tweet that said he can't win when the referees are against his team.

The NFL had no problem with the gesture....

I think they should be much, much much more aware of the perception they're giving when they do stuff like this.
