Officials fail to see Bills defense had 12 men on the field during goal line play vs. Vikings in overtime
Minnesota got the ball first to start the extra period, and Kirk Cousins marched the offense down to the Buffalo two-yard line. On first-and-goal, Dalvin Cook rushed right for a loss of three yards. However, the Bills had 12 defenders on the field -- which went unnoticed by the officials.
"I know it's moving pretty fast out there sometimes," Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game, via ESPN.
Instead of the Vikings getting a first-and-goal from the one-yard line due to the penalty, they had a second-and-goal from the five-yard line. On second down, Cousins was sacked, and he then failed to connect with Adam Thielen on third-and-goal from the Bills' 15-yard line. Greg Joseph was forced to come on and kick a 33-yard field goal, which then gave the Bills a chance to end the game with a touchdown.

The officials also refused to review what was an incomplete pass on the tying drive by Buffalo as well. I don't understand why Coaches cannot challenge under 2 mins.
