Travis Kelce's clever play to score touchdown taken off board after Kadarius Toney's mistake

A costly Kadarius Toney penalty on a nifty play from Travis Kelce cost the Kansas City Chiefs six points in a pivotal moment in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs probably completed one of the best touchdowns that didn’t count on Sunday during the team’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

With under two minutes to play, Patrick Mahomes found Rashee Rice for a big gain to get the team near field-goal range. After an incomplete pass on another target to Rice, Mahomes found Travis Kelce 25 yards down the field and completed the pass.

Kelce then pulled off one of the smartest plays of the year. He threw the ball backward to wide receiver Kadarius Toney who then streaked into the end zone in what every NFL fan at Arrowhead Stadium and at home thought was the go-ahead touchdown.

It wasn’t.

A penalty was called on Toney because he appeared to line up in the neutral zone. The touchdown was called back and the fans’ energy was seemingly sucked out of the stadium. Toney himself appeared to be stunned as he went back to the sidelines.

Mahomes then threw three consecutive incomplete passes – one play he thought Bills linebacker Von Miller was offside. Mahomes went back to the sideline and was irate as he screamed and yelled at NFL officials.
