Chiefs Dismayed by Late Penalty in Another Loss
Travis Kelce almost secured a win for the Chiefs with a stunning play, receiving a pass from Mahomes and then passing it to Kadarius Toney for a last-minute touchdown. However, a penalty flag led to the touchdown being disallowed.
Toney was penalized for being offside before the snap, leaving the Arrowhead Stadium crowd in disbelief as the Bills managed a narrow 20-17 victory, largely thanks to Josh Allen’s inspiring performance, keeping their playoff aspirations alive.
Offensive offsides, although rare, have increased this season, leading to Mahomes’ visible frustration on the sidelines and in post-game interviews.
Mahomes remarked, “It’s hard to accept, really. In my seven years, I’ve never seen an offensive offside call. Once again, we’re discussing the referees, which isn’t ideal for the NFL or the sport.”
Andy Reid, the Chiefs’ head coach, commented on the rarity of such incidents in the NFL, expressing his disappointment.
Despite Toney’s error and other mistakes by the Chiefs’ receivers, the team, now at 8-5, risks losing the top seed in the AFC, which may result in Mahomes playing his first away playoff game.
Sean McDermott, the Buffalo Bills’ head coach, issues an apology for referencing 9/11 in a team talk.
49ers Lead in NFC Three-Way Title Race
The 49ers have climbed to the top of the NFC standings, achieving their fifth consecutive win by defeating the Seattle Seahawks 28-16. This victory, along with significant wins over Dallas and Philadelphia, places them at the forefront, with all three teams now holding 10-3 records.
San Francisco’s offense is currently among the most dynamic in the NFL, with Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel posing significant threats both as runners and receivers.
Samuel amassed 150 total yards, scoring both a rushing and a receiving touchdown. McCaffrey contributed 145 rushing yards, and Brandon Aiyuk added 126 receiving yards, as quarterback Brock Purdy threw for a career-high 368 yards.
The Eagles faced another defeat, this time a decisive 33-13 loss to the Cowboys in Dallas. This result propelled the Cowboys ahead of the Eagles in the NFC East, with head coach Mike McCarthy, who had recently undergone an emergency appendix surgery, returning to the sidelines.
Dak Prescott led the Cowboys to victory, indicating that the NFC’s path to the Super Bowl might go through San Francisco.
Ravens Secure Stunning Overtime Victory Against Rams
The Ravens lead the AFC standings thanks to an extraordinary overtime performance by backup punt returner Tylan Wallace, who scored a touchdown on a punt return, sealing a 37-31 win over the Rams in Baltimore.
Quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Lamar Jackson each scored late touchdowns before the Rams extended the game into overtime. However, Wallace’s impressive 76-yard run secured the victory, putting the Ravens at 10-3.
Wallace made history by becoming only the fourth player to score a walk-off punt return touchdown in overtime.
Playoff Picture Intensifies; Lowest Scoring Game in 16 Years
The Jacksonville Jaguars, led by Trevor Lawrence, suffered a 31-27 loss against the Cleveland Browns, with Joe Flacco’s three touchdowns pushing the Browns into the top wildcard spot in the AFC at 8-5.
