After Sunday’s 20-17 loss to Buffalo, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid called the offsides penalty on Kadarius Toney\u00a0that wiped out a would-be touchdown “a bit embarrassing” for the NFL.<\/p>\n

Monday, Reid walked back his criticism, saying that Toney failed to check with the ref before the play.<\/p>\n

“Normally, he looks over to the sideline and just gets an OK,” Reid told reporters. “On that one, he just happened not to. That’s the coaching point. Just make sure you check with the guy on the side just to see if you’re aligned. I mean, he’s not lining up offsides on purpose. Listen, he was two inches or an inch from being legal. Like I said, you can argue both sides of it.”<\/p>\n

With 1:25 remaining in Sunday’s game, Patrick Mahomes hit Travis Kelce in stride. The tight end weaved past a tackler. As defenders converged, Kelce tossed a lateral to Toney, who scampered to paydirt. The flag at the start of the play, however, wiped out the score in an eventual loss.<\/p>\n
