Kadarius Toney eviscerated by social media as costly penalty dooms brilliant trick play

Kadarius Toney nearly came up with the play of the game for the Kansas City Chiefs. Trailing the Buffalo Bills by 3 points late in the game, Toney caught a backwards pass from Travis Kelce.

CBS broadcaster Tony Romo felt it was a designed play with Kelce delivering the pass after a huge pickup down the field. Designed or not, the play worked with Toney rolling into the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown.

Unfortunately, that play was called back, and it was a penalty solely on Toney’s shoulders. He was flagged for offsides — a rarity for an offensive player — for lining up in the neutral zone before the snap.

Without the touchdown, the Chiefs were unable to convert late in the game and lost 20-17. Social media reacted in vigorous fashion to Toney’s miscue with jokes about Taylor Swift including a song about the WR on her next album a favorite joke of the day.
