Chiefs HC Andy Reid disagreed with intentional grounding ruling by the officials

Reid attempted to challenge the ruling, but was told the play was unreviewable.

“I saw a tipped ball,” Reid told the media after the game. “83 (No. 83, tight end Noah Gray) was somewhat in the vicinity. That’s why I tried to call that (a challenge).”

Certain plays not being eligible to be reviewed continues to lead to bad calls and frustration among teams and fans. CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore said during the broadcast that the intentional grounding call should have been reviewed and reversed.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes takes the high road on intentional grounding call

“I was just trying to say that it got my arm, and the ball got hit,” Mahomes explained to the media after the game. “I was trying to throw it closer to the guy down the field, but it’s a judgment call, and it’s not reviewable. There’s nothing you can really do about it.

“I was just trying to explain myself that I was trying to throw it closer to the guy down the field. I wasn’t going to throw it to him, I was going burn it, but obviously they didn’t see the ball get tipped. That’s just part of the game. You got to move on from it.”

The penalty put the Chiefs in a third-and-16 situation from their 36-yard line, which resulted in Mahomes getting sacked and a punt on fourth down. Who knows if Kansas City would have ended up getting points on that drive had the call been reversed, but it was certainly a momentum changer.
