That is a penalty in 100 of 100 times it happens. Was it intentional or reckless? Maybe not. But wasn't even close. Hit the QB when he is 4-5 feet out of bounds. Feel bad for the Bengals player. Going to be wearing that forever.

Steve, my response wasn't questioning whether there should have been a penalty or not it was about Mathews claim that it was "the softest unnecessary roughness" call he ever saw. 20 or 30 years ago there might have been a chance of no penalty but not in todays game.

On the punt return before KCs last drive, it looked like there was at least one and maybe two blocks in the back by KC that weren't called. If I'm a Bengals fan, that would upset me a lot more than the penalty that put them in field goal range. That's getting called in any game these days no matter what the situation.

Mahomes was out of bounds so long that he had time to grab a foot-long at Subway before getting hit by that defender.

In hockey it would have been off-setting 'cuz Mahomes flopped(embellished) like a fish.

+1 agreed these were a few of the non calls that I mentioned earlier
Thanks for outlining them

Can you imagine how much fuss there would be if the call had not been made?

In K.C.? (though that shouldn't matter...the refs would have needed a lot of security to get out of there.)
