The down judge didn’t appear to see Payton when the two collided. He got back up and tossed the flag to Payton. It didn’t appear that either of them were injured during the play.
The unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was one of two penalties called after McMillian intercepted Mahomes’ pass. Kansas City accepted an illegal blindside blocking penalty that was also called on Denver.
The Broncos didn’t seem to mind the flag. Quarterback Bo Nix led the Broncos on an 11-play, 89-yard touchdown drive after the turnover. Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin ran for a 4-yard touchdown to take the lead.
