Chiefs' Dee Ford opens up on "heartbreaking" penalty that put Patriots in Super Bowl originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com
The Kansas City Chiefs had the New England Patriots beaten in the AFC Championship Game in January.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw an interception that appeared to seal Kansas City's victory and end the franchise's almost five-decade Super Bowl appearance drought. But then, in seconds, the Patriots were given new life when Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford was penalized for lining up in the neutral zone. New England capitalized on the opportunity and eventually won in overtime at Arrowhead Stadium.
