Chiefs irate after NFL officials fail to throw flag on Dolphins on critical play
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid were irate after NFL officials held onto their penalty flags in the second quarter of the Chiefs’ game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday.
Mahomes was looking for a deep pass to Hardman, and it appeared safety Brandon Jones got a piece of Hardman as he was trying to break down the field.
No flag was thrown.
Hardman was waving his hands and yelling at an official after the play. Mahomes ran down the field with his arms outstretched in disbelief. Reid gave one of the sideline referees an earful.
The drive ended with a punt.
Kansas City took a 16-7 lead into the locker room at halftime.
