Travis Kelce’s potential 85th career touchdown was ruled out in the first quarter as the Kansas City Chiefs battled the Indianapolis Colts in a crucial conference matchup on Sunday.
Kelce lined up in the shotgun formation and took the snap straight through the middle of the defense into the end zone. Chiefs fans at Arrowhead Stadium believed Kansas City had put six points on the board with a chance to tie the game with a Harrison Butker extra point.

However, NFL officials called offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor for a mask. The Chiefs were assessed a 15-yard personal foul and the touchdown was nullified. Chiefs fans immediately booed when the replay was shown on the scoreboard.
The replay on the CBS broadcast appeared to show Taylor’s arm on Colts defensive lineman Kwity Paye’s helmet. It didn’t look like Taylor actually grabbed the Colts player.

Last week he was more focused on the team’s defeat than on the record mark.
