Days after Kadarius Toney’s offensive offsides penalty cost the Kansas City Chiefs a potential victory against the Buffalo Bills, the wide receiver said he never received a warning from the official that he wasn’t set.
“Nah. They didn’t. They said they gave me a warning, but I never talked to the ref,” Toney said this week, per KSHB 41 in Kansas City. “Full spectrum, we’re moving forward.”
Toney never appeared to discuss anything with the side judge or signal asking if he was set prior to his touchdown that would have given the Chiefs the lead with 1:25 left. The five-yard penalty led to three straight incomplete passes by Patrick Mahomes as the Bills held on to win, 20-17.
Toney has made plenty of blunders in his three-year career with the Chiefs and New York Giants, yet Mahomes hasn’t publicly called him out. Instead, he’s defended the wide receiver. That’s been the Chiefs philosophy since Andy Reid arrived.
“Just be you. That’s all you can do in life or in this league,” Mahomes said, via a team transcript. “You’re going to make mistakes; stuff is going to happen in your life. How do you accept that adversity and get past it and do it the right way? Coach Reid preaches that and that’s how I roll. If you make one mistake, that’s not going to define you, it’s going to be how you respond to the mistake.”
