Come on. If it was, they wouldn't have given the touchback, they would've said not enough to overturn.
I’ll be the minority and say I don’t have a problem with the call. Mahomes was already in motion to throw. The contact prevented a completion.
That said, the rule is not written that way, so it was incorrect by rule.

Can I throw the challenge flag just to force the ref to stare at their incompetence for three minutes?
Guys... you can barely tell if there is contact happening when it leaves his hand in super-slow motion, zero chance any ref has an angle to see both the hand and the contact and is able to tell perfectly.
That call is fine in real time, if they aren't going to make it reviewable that's the call you get.

Does anyone else name players by their number. Like “that’s holding DiMaggio” for 56, or “nice block, Medicare.”
I saw something thrown from the stands toward the corner of the end zone at the end of the punt. Thankfully, it was not.
Except it seemed like it might have been called in from upstairs considering how late it was?
I’d argue that if it’s that difficult to tell in real time then you don’t call it.
The defender played it exactly like he knew the rule. Knew he was within 5 and knew Kermie had it. Lined up the dude and chipped him.
It’s infuriating because if the official isn’t sure what he saw, he’s supposed to keep the flag in his pocket. The flag was obscenely late, and a conference was called. They obviously weren’t sure. But they called the penalty anyway.
Because it’s not like a normal hitting of a receiver within 5 yards at the start of a play while a QB is going through his progressions. Mahomes was throwing to a spot and the contact prevented the WR from getting to that spot.
meh. if you have the responsibility of watching the receivers, and you see a guy clear out the receiver to prevent him from catching the ball I think you throw the flag, and it's on the umpire to tell you if the ball wasn't out yet.
I think it would be unforgivable in a regular season game. This is unimaginable.
Did Campbell offer an explanation?
