Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, fumed at the refs on social media over the false start call that wiped away what would have been the game-winning touchdown in the Chiefs’ 28-24 loss to the Broncos. 

Offensive tackle Jaylon Moore was called for the penalty, seemingly for the slightest movement on the line of scrimmage that resulted in the yellow flags flying. 

The Chiefs were pushed back five yards and on the next play, Patrick Mahomes was sacked to end the game. An angry Brittany Mahomes took to her Instagram Stories to voice her frustrations with the way the game ended.

“You can’t tell me you call that on the game winning TD, oh wait yeah I can cause it’s us,” she wrote on a black screen, along with a smiling face emoji. 

“That was the weakest call I have ever seen, you can’t tell me otherwise.” 

Chiefs coach Andy Reid called the flag “one man’s opinion” in that moment, but he did not see a false start.

Kansas City blew a double-digit lead in the second half that allowed the Broncos to score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Kicker Harrison Butker missed a critical field goal that opened the door for Denver’s rally.

“I thought the guys battled like crazy. When it really came down to it, too many penalties,” Reid said. “We had over 100 yards in penalties and that puts you in a bad position all the way down to the touchdown right at the end to win the game. We have to make sure we take care of that.”
