Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney blasts refs for controversial offside call vs Bills - “They came back and lied”

Four days after the loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs are still involved in a controversy regarding Kadarius Toney's late offside penalty that cost them a touchdown.

On Thursday, Toney spoke about the incident and whether he feels that the Chiefs were robbed of a potentially game-winning touchdown. While he admitted that there was no interaction between him and the side judge, he made sure to point out that they're moving on from the incident:

“Nah, they didn’t. Then they came back, and lied, and said they gave me a warning. I never talked to a ref… but as I said, we're moving forward, that’s small, full spectrum. We're moving forward, we're not thinking about that no more.”

What happened at the end of the Chiefs-Bills game?

The Chiefs thought they had scored a touchdown late in the game, with Patrick Mahomes throwing the ball to Travis Kelce, and the tight end throwing it backward for Kadarius Toney, who ran to the end zone.

But a flag came out right before Toney crossed the end zone. And that's because he wasn't properly aligned before the snap. He was a yard in front of where he was supposed to be, so advanced that the side judge couldn't see the ball.

Patrick Mahomes was furious on the sidelines and had to be contained by his teammates. Mahomes, however, talked about the referees at the postgame conference:

"It’s tough to swallow. Not only from me, and football in general, to take away greatness like that, for a guy like Travis to make a play like that, you want to see the guys on the field decide the game. They’re human. They make mistakes. But every week, we’re talking about something... It's the call."
