Andy Reid on AFC title penalties: offsides OK, roughing the passer not so much

As we learned shortly before the AFC championship game began Sunday, sometimes, referees’ calls do not go your way.

Such was the case for the Kansas City Chiefs on at least two occasions in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots—first a roughing the passer penalty on defensive lineman Chris Jones, then the offsides call on linebacker Dee Ford.

The Jones penalty occurred on second-and-7 at the Patriots 28-yard line, with the Chiefs leading, 21-17 in the fourth quarter.

Here's the Chris Jones penalty, if you want to compare. I don't think any reasonable person is blaming the outcome on this, for what it's worth.
