The Chiefs had the ball deep in their own half of the field late in the first half of Thursday’s game against the Chargers when a penalty flag was thrown.
Amazon’s Kirk Herbstreit thought Chargers star pass rusher Joey Bosa would be called for the penalty for hitting Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ legs.
The officials did agree that Bosa hit Mahomes. But the call went against the Chiefs, because officials ruled KC offensive lineman Andrew Wylie had pulled Bosa into Mahomes.
Here is the play.

One person who thought the referees made a bad call was former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Bad call on my boy wylie

However, former Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz thought the officials got it right.
That shouldn’t be a penalty on Bosa. They got it right

Lawrence Tynes, the former Chiefs kicker, called it a dirty hit on Bosa, writing that the Chargers star “launches” at Mahomes in the play. “Dirty as it gets,” wrote Tynes, who played for the Chiefs from 2004-06.
Watch Bosa’s left foot, he digs into the grass and launches at Mahomes lower half. Dirty as it gets. pic.twitter.com/kEwgfqC5Us

Many fans also thought the official blew it with that call, saying Wylie couldn’t have thrown Bosa into Mahomes.
What???
That’s a TERRIBLE holding call on Wylie.
Bosa already good enough you don’t have to give him calls like that.— Ross Tucker (@RossTuckerNFL) September 16, 2022

Dragged down my heiny, Bosa 100% dove at Mahomes legs. No flag, as usual. Gotta play through BS #ChiefsKingdom Get LOUD!!!

Bosa absolutely dove at Mahomes legs. He wasn’t pulled into the QB by the tackle. Treat our quarterback like an MVP. #ChiefsKingdom

Even if Wiley pulled bosa, Mack still hit mahomes after the pass driving him into bosa body on the ground.

The call on Andrew Wylie was felt a bit weak to me. He didn't throw Bosa into Mahomes lol

Bosa also wasn’t pulled into Mahomes. Instead of 1st and 10 with 15 yards downfield. We get shafted 6 yards.
