AFC Championship: Referee Ron Tolbert explains why Chiefs were given a do-over in fourth quarter vs. Bengals
What's a playoff game without a dash of controversy, right? One of the more head-scratching moments of Kansas City's AFC Championship victory over the Bengals on Sunday came in the fourth quarter when it looked like the officials gave the Chiefs what essentially felt like a do-over on a third-and-9 attempt, which they initially failed to convert.
Ron Tolbert's officiating crew identified a clock issue and one of the officials tried to stop the play before the ball was snapped, but it was too loud at Arrowhead Stadium for that mandate for the play to actually be shut down. So, that failed conversion on the initial attempt was really a play that wouldn't have counted and Tolbert then announced they would restart the third-down try. While Tolbert was adhering to the rule, the call did come in very late, which made it feel like Kansas City was effectively getting a do-over on what otherwise would have been a situation where they'd have to punt.
Cincinnati wasn't burned too badly by this call as the Chiefs would eventually punt, but K.C. was able to get a first down on the second third-and-9 attempt thanks to a holding call on Eli Apple.
"On the previous play, there was an incomplete pass," Tolbert said of the situation after the game, via the pool report. "We spotted the ball, but the line judge came in and re-spotted the ball because the spot was off. We reset the play clock and the game clock started running. It should not have started running because there was an incomplete pass on the previous play. The field judge noticed that the game clock was running. He was coming in to shut the play down so that we could get the clock fixed but nobody heard him, and the play was run. After the play was over, he came in and we discussed that he was trying to shut the play down before the ball had been snapped. So, we reset the game clock back to where it was before that snap and replayed third down."
When asked what the normal protocols are for when a play can't get stopped in time and the play gets off, but the situation doesn't affect the play, Tolbert reiterated: "If we were trying to shut down the play and we couldn't, we would shut it down and go back and replay the down."
After that situation, the score remained at 20 apiece before the Chiefs were able to move down the field with 30 seconds left on the clock to set up a game-winning kick by Harrison Butker to send them to Super Bowl LVII.
嘚璱一下，正如爪哥所料，昨晚酋长与马红（patrick mahomes）击败笨狗与 Joe Cool，四年内第三次挺进 super bowl。
见拙文：酋长慢炖笨狗，马红 all the way ！
正如爪哥所料，笨狗缺席三个先发的 O-line，被酋长以 Cris Jones 领衔的 D-line 冲了个稀里哗啦。
用数据说话吧：
Joe Cool 被 sack five times，threw two interceptions under pressure。
俺原本以为这场比赛无悬念，酋长会慢炖笨狗。但天有不测风云，万万没想到，马红的 top five receivers，三个因伤下场。
这让原本就崴了一条腿，内功仅剩一半不到的马红，在下半场 Struggle mightily 。不是马红变得不会扔球了，而是他的 backup receivers 被对方看得死死的，没法儿 open 啊
所以，酋长没能如爪哥预期那样，慢炖笨狗。而是费了十牛三虎之力，才惊险过关。
赛前，辛辛那提的市长狂妄地放言说，Joe Cool 是马红的 daddy。
昨晚马红用 superman 一样的神勇表现（尤其是最后的冲刺），狠狠抽了这个 SOB 一大嘴巴！
Joe is not mahomes' daddy
Arrowhead is not Burrowhead
欧耶！！！！
另外，昨晚裁判令所有笨狗球迷气急败坏歇斯底里的 “controversy call”，没毛病，解释如下：

我不懂裁判的判罚
你们不要抢哈
体重就像气吹的一样，狂涨了10磅
无论从技战术，对抗性，球员的速度与激情。。。。美式橄榄球把足球甩下100条街。
俺说的是bagels，不是下三路硬哈
一个非洲来的人，想移民，正在开发我们的城市，10 天后见移民官。我正好手里有球票，送给了他，还让他保留，因为这场橄榄球赛意义重大，轰动全成，单位集体买票，个人花钱，朋友的车甚至停到我家，我再把大家一起送到体育场附近，而且二个队员来自他的国家Nigeria.
移民官问他看到了什么，学到了什么，当他提起球赛，移民官立即来了精神，不信他亲临现场，还专门看了他递上去的票根，结果出了一份欢迎他移民的信。他的中介非常高兴，说球票起了作用，让我带这个人一起吃饭庆祝，并拍照留念，中介付饭钱。
