The Latest From NFL Week 6: Safety Call Missed in KC-Vikes

The latest from NFL games around the league on the sixth Sunday of the season (all times EDT):

1:40 p.m.

The Minnesota Vikings would have taken a 2-0 lead in the first quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs had Jerome Boger's officiating crew not missed a safety.

On third-and-12 from the Kansas City 2, Chiefs left guard Ben Grubbs was called for holding Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd — and a holding call in the end zone is an automatic safety.

Boger announced the penalty occurred in the field of play.

But replays indicated Floyd was held in the end zone — and Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was livid on the sideline.
