As NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth said on the broadcast, "It went off of two helmets, two shoulder pads, and never touchedthe ground."This INSANE catch could have been a TD.The Chiefs didn't want to challenge. Sporting News (@sportingnews) Gerald Everett Jersey Despite the replay showing pretty clearly that Hill caught the ball, the Chiefs did not challenge the play. NFL fans were confused during the game as to why Kansas City coach Andy Reid wouldn't challenge that play, but he had a reasonable explanation after the game.Andy Reid said Tyreek Hill told him he didn't make the catch on the TD the Chiefs lost. "I've never had a receiver that didn't know he caught the ball.''

You can normally tell with Nolan Cromwell Jersey a receiver whether he had it or not. Especially Tyreek. He was as surprised as any of us that he ended up with the football."The man who threw the ball, Patrick Mahomes, had some thoughts on the play as well."I didn't realize until after they showed the replay and we already punted," Mahomes said. "I told Tyreek in the locker room, 'Man, you're so good at receiver that you dont even know when you catch touchdowns these days.'"Mahomes said Monday that the Chiefs "might have to get on those replay guys."Get those replays going up a little quicker," he .
