Dee Ford takes blame for critical offsides penalty in Chiefs' loss

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Linebacker Dee Ford said he was at fault for lining up offside on a play late in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game that could have cost the Kansas City Chiefs a berth in the Super Bowl.

"Sloppy football on my end at the end of the day,'' Ford said a day after the Chiefs lost 37-31 in overtime to the New England Patriots. "Whether it was six inches or however many inches, I was offside.

"I can't go back and change it. If I could I would but at this point we can create a new narrative and that's what I'm all about.
