The Denver Broncos clinched first place in the AFC West with a 28-24 comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, sealed by a goal-line stand in the final seconds.
Controversial False Start Call
With 15 seconds remaining, the Chiefs faced fourth-and-1 at the Broncos' 1-yard line. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared to connect with Rashee Rice for a go-ahead touchdown, but officials flagged right tackle Jaylon Moore for a false start. The penalty moved Kansas City back to the 6-yard line, where Mahomes was sacked by Malcolm Roach to end the game.
Reid Questions the Call
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he did not see a false start. "I didn't see it," Reid said with a chuckle. "But that's one man's opinion. I saw him move his head, but I didn't see a false start." Moore said he had not yet reviewed the play but acknowledged he needed to be better.
The loss dropped the Chiefs to 5-2 after a 5-0 start. It marked Mahomes' third career loss when holding a double-digit fourth-quarter lead, leaving him 80-3 in such situations.
