Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid admitted to reporters Monday that vast receiver Kadarius Toney did certainly line up offsides previous to the group’s would-be go-ahead landing within the fourth quarter in opposition to the Buffalo Payments on Sunday.
Each Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes blasted officials postgame, with the previous saying: “It is a bit embarrassing for the Nationwide Soccer League for that to happen.”
The one noticeable distinction between the 65-year-old’s feedback on Sunday vs. his phrases on Monday is that he is now saying that Toney was offsides, albeit by an inch or two.
Given the historical past of back-and-forth dramas between Mahomes and Payments quarterback Josh Allen prior to now, it is no certainty that the Chiefs would’ve received even when Sunday’s lateral landing had counted. Followers of each groups will not quickly overlook how the AFC divisional playoff tilt ended in January 2022, when each groups had been in a position to rating within the remaining 17 seconds of regulation and Mahomes discovered tight finish Travis Kelce for the game-winner in extra time.
There is not any query that if the referee missed Toney’s offsides, let it slide or if the third-year professional had merely checked with the official, that Kansas Metropolis would’ve been in nice place to maneuver to 9-4. As an alternative, the Chiefs have now misplaced two in a row and are simply 8-5 with a one-game lead over the Denver Broncos within the AFC West.
