Travis Kelce Says Jaylon Moore 'Flinched' on False-Start That Erased Chiefs' Touchdown

Overview

• In the Week 8 game in Denver a false-start penalty on right tackle Jaylon Moore wiped out a Patrick Mahomes touchdown, and on the next play Malcolm Roach sacked Mahomes to seal a 28-24 Broncos win.
• Travis Kelce told listeners on his New Heights podcast on Wednesday that Moore “flinches,” a frank admission that supports the officials’ ruling that the movement simulated the snap.
• Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid publicly questioned the call after the game, saying they did not clearly see a false start and expressing surprise that it was flagged.
• Former Broncos safety Justin Simmons and other Denver‑aligned voices defended the officiating and pushed back at Chiefs fans who criticized the decision on social media.
• The episode has intensified scrutiny of Kansas City’s recurring penalty issues and underperforming interior pass rush, a concern that could influence evaluations and roster decisions before upcoming trade and personnel deadlines.
