The Chiefs' late comeback effort against the Bills in their Week 14 matchup was cut short due to an untimely penalty.
Trailing 20–17 with less than two minutes to play and the ball at midfield, it appeared that Travis Kelce had made one of the best plays of his career to put Kansas City ahead.
After catching a pass roughly 20 yards downfield, Kelce turned to get more yards, but rather than fall when faced with a Bills defender, he pivoted and threw a backward pass across the field to wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who took the ball into the end zone.
However, the brilliant play was too beautiful to last, as Toney had been flagged at the line of scrimmage for lining up offsides. The Bills held on to win.
Patrick Mahomes was fuming on the sidelines and later explained after the game that he was frustrated not only with the impact the call had on the game, but the impact it had on Kelce's Hall of Fame career.
Mahomes wasn’t the only one in his family who was mad at the official’s decision to throw the flag.
Watching from the sidelines was Mahomes’s wife, Brittany, who posted a video to Instagram after the play that zoomed in on the referee. It had a simple caption: MVP.
