Last night KC Chiefs were playing the Buffalo Bills. There was 1:25 left, and KC is at the 50. Here is the play.
You might notice one guy standing on the blue line, looking back at the center. You might notice his whole team is behind him. If you didn't, the refs did and brought back the cool play. This caused Patrick Mahomes to spiral.
Mahomes is seen yelling, bordering on tears immediately after.
After having some time to think it over, Mahomes then doubles down in the post game interview.
For those that aren't football fans, this is how the chiefs won the Superbowl last year:
Note only WR's can get offensive offsides called, and they tend not to because well... it's not that hard to know you shouldn't be looking back at the ball.

I don't follow football like I once did but isn't offensive offsides fairly common? What's he talking about.

It's usually defensive offsides. Now that I think of it I can't really think of any offensive examples, usually they get false starts called against them.

They're getting more consistent at calling them. If you watch the play this guy is clearly past the neutral zone and blatantly offsides. It was the right call even if it negated a really cool play and a game winning TD. KC is just used to having the refs on their team.

Usually if it's on the offense it's a False Start (or occasionally Illegal Formation). You have to be Romero levels of dumb to fail at "getting in a line" after doing it for 10s of years.

Usually it's a neutral zone infraction.
Actually I'm not sure but an article said only 1 was called all of last year and there have been 12 called this year.
