Kind of deserved if it goes against KC--just power into the end zone with Pacheco. All these end arounds have been terrible for them this game.
Agreed.

Absolutely horrible call there, esp with Hardman as the option.

Just nonsensical to allow him to lose the game with so many better players on offense.

It really is. It should just go back to KC where they fumbled it. But whatever. Not gonna cry for them.
But the end zone is officiated completely different from every other spot on the field. If you break the plane, it is a TD, play immediately OVER. If a fumble happens after that, doesn't matter. Not a fumble.

So the touch back rule is aligned with the end zone being different.

Anytime the ball goes out of bounds they should have a jump ball. Or maybe a change of possession arrow.

It's just so insanely over powered. Why not also award the defense 7 points and make the offense have to play with 10 guys the rest of the game? Since ball security in the red zone is so important.
