There have been flags aplenty in the NFL this season, but Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson wonders where his might have been Sunday in a physical rivalry game against the Bills.
One day after the Jets lost to its division rival, 20-12, the rookie responded to a Twitter video posted by a fan, which featured the 22-year-old wideout appearing to get hit late by a Buffalo defender after stepping out of bounds.

Though Wilson did not specify the official in question, he wrote in a follow-up message that the alleged exchange took place against another division rival earlier this season.
“First patriots game @ home was when a ref told me this I forget his field number,” he said.
