Justin Simmons responds to Chiefs fans over controversial false start call

Former Broncos safety Justin Simmons addressed criticism from Kansas City Chiefs fans regarding a controversial false start penalty that contributed to the Chiefs’ loss against the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs appeared to score a late touchdown, but a penalty on Jaylon Moore negated the play. The Broncos ultimately won 28-24 as a result. Simmons asserted that the officials made the correct call, while both he and teammate Kareem Jackson defended the referees. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid disagreed with the decision, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes acknowledged the officials' ruling without having seen the replay. Kansas City had a chance to win the game, but Malcolm Roach sacked Mahomes on a crucial fourth down attempt.
