With four seconds remaining and Kansas City trailing 28-24, Mahomes connected with Rashee Rice in the end zone. However, officials flagged right tackle Jaylon Moore for a false start, nullifying the touchdown. On the Chiefs’ subsequent fourth-down attempt from six yards away, Mahomes was sacked in the eventful 28-24 loss.Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, almost celebrated a potential Chiefs victory before learning Moore had committed a false start. She vented her frustration over the referees’ controversial call through her Instagram story.“You can’t tell me you call that on a game-winning TD, oh wait, yeah I can cause it’s us. That was the weakest call I have ever seen; you can’t tell me otherwise,” she wrote (as seen on Ari Meirov’s X).The controversy is about whether Moore’s movement before the snap was enough to be called a false start. Replays showed him turning his head and making a slight movement with his lower body. While a head turn is not enough to constitute a false start, if the referees believe Moore’s movement simulated the start of play before the ball was snapped, they may be right.Because of the penalty, Kansas City was moved from the Denver 1-yard line to the 6-yard line for fourth-and-goal.Chiefs HC and Patrick Mahomes React to Pivotal Penalty Call vs. BroncosAfter the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid disputed the call, saying he didn’t see Jaylon Moore move beyond a slight head turn before the snap.“I didn’t see it,” Reid said via NBC Sports. “That’s one man’s opinion. I saw him move his head, but I didn’t see a false start.”According to NBC Sports, Moore may have also twitched his leg before the snap.Patrick Mahomes also expressed frustration with the decision, noting that minor infractions sometimes go uncalled in high-pressure situations.“At the end of the day, you have to go with whatever’s called,” Mahomes said. “But a lot of times in those big moments, the little stuff doesn’t get called like that.”In the end, the loss dropped the Chiefs to 5-2, while the Broncos improved to 6-2 and moved ahead of Kansas City in the AFC West standings.Read More News:“They Go Nowhere With Him”: Cowboys Analyst Wants Brian Schottenheimer Fired After “Embarrassing” Loss vs. Cardinals“Eagles Got Another Dude Out Here Risking Serious Injury”: NFL Analyst Rips Nick Sirianni’s Team on Playing Injured Saquon Barkley Amid Jalen Hurts RowCollege Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in tennis, college football, men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, and college baseball!
