Officials criticized for missing holding call on Mahomes touchdown run

During a game on September 15, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs faced scrutiny following a missed holding penalty on a touchdown run by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 15-yard score featured a controversial block from Kelce that appeared to pull down Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga, potentially clearing Mahomes’ path to the end zone. The missed call became a topic of discussion, with allegations suggesting a bias toward the Chiefs, especially after another of Mahomes' touchdown runs had been nullified by a penalty just prior. Analysts and commentators expressed their discontent regarding the officiating decisions during the game.
