A false start erased what would've been the game-winning touchdown for the Chiefs against the Broncos on Sunday, but Kansas City's longtime coach isn't on board with the call.
Reid disagreed with the officials' assessment of the movement by Jaylon Moore, whose penalty left the Chiefs with one last play from the Broncos' 6-yard line rather than the 1-yard line.
The 28-24 loss pushed the Chiefs down to second place in the AFC West, with Denver jumping to the top of the division in a result that could prove to be critical at the end of the season.
Here's a look at Reid's reaction to the penalty.

Andy Reid disagrees with false start call
Reid told reporters after Sunday's loss that he "didn't see" a false start from Moore.
"I didn’t see it. That's one man's opinion," Reid said. "I saw him move his head, but I didn’t see a false start."

Here is the movement officials saw as enough to call a false start:
