Chad Johnson backs penalty against Chiefs as Brittany Mahomes criticizes officiating

During the Nov. 1 game, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Denver Broncos 28-24, with a key false start penalty called on right tackle Jaylon Moore. The penalty erased what would have been a game-winning touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Rashee Rice in the final seconds. Brittany Mahomes expressed her frustration on social media regarding the call, while Chad Johnson supported the referees' decision on his podcast, stating that Moore indeed flinched. This decision led the Chiefs to a 5-2 record, falling behind the Broncos in the AFC West. Chiefs' coach Andy Reid and tight end Travis Kelce also weighed in on the controversial call, with Kelce agreeing that Moore flinched.
