NFL fans noticed Miami Dolphins star player Jaylen Waddle get away with an offside play that mirrored a critical penalty call that nullified a game-winning touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Waddle was spotted avoiding a penalty during the Dolphins‘ brutal 28-27 loss at home to the Tennesee Titans on Monday Night Football.
In the first quarter, the Dolphins were on their 12-yard line.
On first down and 10, Miami worked in a two-wide-receiver set as quarterback Tua Tagoailoa handed the ball to running back Raheem Mostert, who ran for three yards.
TV viewers noticed that Waddle was offside on the play which warranted a penalty call.
But the officials didn’t penalize the 25-year-old wideout.
The moment happened a day after the Chiefs lost to the Bills after a controversial play.
With less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Kansas City wide receiver Kadarius Toney was ruled offside in the same play in which he caught a lateral pass from tight end Travis Kelce.
Toney then took the ball and ran for a touchdown.
The play wouldn’t count as the Chiefs lost five plays later by a score of 20-17.
After the turnover on downs play, Patrick Mahomes went to the sidelines, threw his helmet down, and yelled at the officials.
The two-time MVP and head coach Andy Reid complained about the refs both on the field and in their postgame conferences.
Both could be fined for their comments about the officiating.
Kansas City has now lost three of their last four games.
As for the Dolphins, they lost after having a 27-13 lead with less than three minutes left in the primetime game.
Titans quarterback Will Levis and running back Derrick Henry scored touchdowns in the late fourth quarter.
Miami gave up the lead as Tyreek Hill suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter.
The seven-time Pro Bowler only played 32 snaps and recorded four catches for 61 yards.
Waddle led the team in receiving yards with 79 while posting six receptions.
The Dolphins are 9-4 and will play the New York Jets next Sunday in Week 15.
