NEWNow you can listen to Pak Gazette articles!

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had former NFL quarterback Tony Romo in his corner at a crucial moment in the team’s comeback win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Kelce was called for offensive pass interference with less than five minutes left to play and the Chiefs trailing by three points. The referees made the decision when Patrick Mahomes found Kareem Hunt by a few feet on a swing route.

“This is the worst decision I’ve seen all year. It’s literally the worst decision I’ve seen all year,” Romo said. “They’re guarding him. They’re going to say he’s running a route. They think he’s picking 53. He’s not. He walks up to his own guy who’s guarding him and tells him it’s pass interference.

“That’s ridiculous. You know that happens almost every play when you’re pressuring something, right?”

The Chiefs were able to recover after the penalty, forcing them to return to their own 3-yard line.

Kansas City won the game 23-20 thanks to a 12-play, 81-yard drive that ended with a Butker field goal in overtime. The Chiefs scored 14 unanswered points to achieve the comeback.

The Chiefs are now 6-5 so far this year and hope the win over the AFC South leaders can start a push down the stretch of the season.

“All five of our losses felt like this game, where there were plays we could have made and we didn’t,” Mahomes said. “You can talk about it all day, but until you prove it, it’s not like that. Today we showed we could make the plays.”
