The Kansas City Chiefs made a valiant effort on Sunday, appearing to score a clutch win with just over a minute left when wide receiver Kadarius Toney caught a lateral pass from Travis Kelce and got into the end zone. But the play was called back as Toney was called for an offside penalty prior to the snap.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was not pleased with the call and made sure to make his opinion known. He said, “I was disappointed with the call. We have to be better, and I told the team that. I thought Kadarius [Toney] had a great game and he made a great play. It just didn’t work out.”
Toney had a huge game, catching five passes for 75 yards and a touchdown, but it was the offside penalty that everyone was talking about after the game. Reid was quick to point out that he was proud of Toney’s performance and that he was going to continue to work hard.
“Kadarius is a very talented player and he’s going to continue to get better,” Reid said. “We’re going to keep working with him and make sure he gets better each and every week.”
The Chiefs have high hopes for Toney and it’s clear that Reid is not going to let the offside penalty define the rookie’s season. He is confident that Toney will be able to learn from the mistake and move on.
“He’s a good kid and he works hard,” Reid said. “He’s going to be just fine.”
The Chiefs are confident that Toney can bounce back from the offside penalty and continue to be a big part of their offense. He has already shown flashes of brilliance in his rookie season and the team is confident that he will continue to improve and make an impact on the field.
Overall, Reid’s message was clear; he wants Toney to learn from the mistake and continue to strive for greatness. The Chiefs are confident that Toney will be able to do just that and will be a key contributor for the team in the future.
The Chiefs have been a success this season and they are hoping that Toney can help keep that momentum going. With Reid’s words of encouragement, Toney should have no problem bouncing back from the offside penalty and helping the Chiefs achieve their goals.
