Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had former NFL quarterback Tony Romo in his corner at a crucial time in the team’s comeback victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Kelce was called for offensive pass interference with under five minutes to play and the Chiefs trailing by three points. The refs made the call when Patrick Mahomes found Kareem Hunt a few yards on a swing route.

“This is the worst call I’ve seen all year. It’s literally the worst call I’ve seen all year,” Romo said. “He’s being guarded. They’re going to say he’s running a route. They think he’s picking 53. He’s not. He walks into his own guy guarding him and says it’s pass interference on him.
“That’s ridiculous. You know that happens on almost every game when you press something, right?”
The Chiefs were able to rally after the penalty, forcing them back to their own 3-yard line.

“All five of our losses felt like this game where there were plays we could make and we didn’t,” Mahomes said. “You can talk about it all day, but until you prove it, don’t. We proved today that we could make plays.”
