Chiefs’ Andy Reid admits Kadarius Toney was offside vs. Bills but irked refs didn’t give warning

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid acknowledged that receiver Kadarius Toney lined up offside on the would-be game-winning play in Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills that was called for a penalty, but also reiterated his assertion that officials typically warn coaches before throwing a flag for those types of violations. “They know when they tell me something … I’m gonna go address the guy like right now and make sure that it gets changed.” Reid said penalties like this one were among several things Kansas City needs to clean up. “We’ve gotta take care of that part and not put it in the officials’ hands.” Andy Reid on the Chiefs' lack of attention to details, especially in late-game situations: "I get paid to teach. Referee Carl Cheffers addressed the call after the game, saying the down judge saw that Toney’s “alignment was over the ball and that’s what he ruled on the field.” Regarding Reid’s comment about getting a warning, Cheffers said that if a coach or receiver looks for alignment advice, officials will give it to them, but “ultimately, they are responsible for wherever they line up.” “And certainly, no warning is required, especially if they are lined up so far offsides where they’re actually blocking our view of the ball,” Cheffers said.
