The Kansas City Chiefs saw a potential last-second victory slip away Sunday after officials flagged offensive lineman Jaylon Moore for a false start just as Kansas City appeared to score a game-winning touchdown against the Denver Broncos, according to Sporting News and Yahoo Sports.

The penalty wiped out the score and the resulting momentum, a brutal turn for a Chiefs team that had squandered an 11-point fourth-quarter lead before clawing back into position for one final shot at the end zone.

Head coach Andy Reid pushed back on the call after the game, telling reporters he did not see a false start on the play, according to both outlets. His comments put a fresh spotlight on the officiating in a game Kansas City ultimately let get away.
