Chiefs News

Week 14 Recap

You can read the explanation for the offsides call in the pool report with NFL senior VP of officiating Walt Anderson and game referee Carl Cheffers.

In summary: Referees do not have to notify a receiver if they are offside, and the penalty was “egregious,” per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com

L: 20 BUF, 17 KC

The Chiefs lost 20-17 to the Bills in a wild game that featured heated tempers, controversial calls, and more self-inflicted wounds.

QTR 1

• The Chiefs moved their ball with ease on their first drive until Mahomes’ pass was tipped and intercepted

• The teams traded punts before Buffalo found the end zone on a 25-yard TD pass to James Cook to take a 7-0 lead

• The Chiefs’ offense sputtered on their 3rd possession and went 3 and out after an MVS false start put them in a 3rd and 12

• Score: 7-0, BUF

QTR 2

• The Bills moved the ball easily on their next possession and Josh Allen ran for a 6-yard TD to take a 14-0 lead

• The next Chiefs drive stalled again in large part due to a Kadarius Toney drop on 2nd and 12 that would have set up a short 3rd down

• The defense came through on the next drive when rookie Chamarri Connor intercepted a Josh Allen pass

• The offense overcame a 1st and 25 due to penalties and finished the drive with a 6-yard Jerrick McKinnon TD run to make it 14-7

• Buffalo took back over with 1:19 left in the half but couldn’t find the end zone on a Hail Mary attempt before half-time

• Score: 14-7, BUF

QTR 3

• The Bills drove into Chiefs territory to start the half, but the defense held them to a FG

• The offense drove down the field and Mahomes connected with Rashee Rice for a 5-yard TD pass with 3:30 left in the quarter

• The defense then forced a 3 and out, but the offense gave the ball back to the Bills after Rashee Rice fumbled with 0:38 left in the quarter

• The defense forced another 3 and out and the Bills had to punt to begin the 4th quarter

• Score: 17-14, BUF

QTR 4

• The Chiefs started the quarter in great field position after a nice punt return from Richie James to the KC 45

• The offense drove into the Red Zone but had to settle for a 28-yard FG to tie the game at 17

• The defense came up with another big stop and forced a punt despite this 3rd and 9 miracle from Josh Allen.

• The Chiefs got the ball back with 8:00 remaining, but the offense went 3 and out and punted it back to the Bills who then drove down and converted a FG to take a 3-point lead

• With 1:25 left in the game, from the Buffalo 49-yard line, Mahomes connected with Kelce on a deep pass, who then lateraled the ball to Kadarius Toney who ran it in for a TD, but the play was called back due to Kadarius Toney lining up offsides

• The Chiefs’ 4th and 15 pass fell incomplete and the Bills kneeled out the rest of the clock

• Final Score: 20-17, BUF

Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media after the game.

Andy Reid

• Injuries: None to report

• “Normally I get a warning before something like that [the offsides call] happens in a big game. A bit embarrassing in the National Football League for that to take place… Normally if it’s even close, the Head Coach gets a warning… I didn’t have a protractor out there, but it’s a bit embarrassing.”

• “I’ve been in the league a long time and I haven’t had one like that, at least not one in that position there where it’s not given a heads up.”

• The referees did not provide any explanation for the flag

Patrick Mahomes

• On what made him boil over: “It’s the call man. Just in that moment… for a flag to change the outcome of the game in that moment… I’ve played seven years in the NFL and never had that flag called… There was no warning throughout the entire game and then you wait till there’s a minute left in the game to make a call like that…”

• “Regardless of if we win or lose, just for it to end with another game and we’re talking about the refs, it’s just not what you want for the NFL or for football.”

• On an explanation from the refs: “None. None from any of them. I asked three different refs and no one said anything.”

• “Let us play man. Let us play the game! And then, whatever happens, happens. The whole throwing the flag and deciding the game one way or another, that’s what hurts me. That’s why last week I didn’t say anything. I’d rather them let us play and go out there and see who wins.”

• Mahomes emphasized that the referee threw a flag on something that didn’t impact the play “at all.”

• “I hope they still show [that play] whenever he goes into the Hall of Fame because that’s a legendary moment we didn’t really get to witness.”

• “We’ve just got to move on and try to keep this thing going.”
