Travis Kelce Says Jaylon Moore Flinched on False Start That Voided Chiefs’ Last-Second TD

Kelce’s New Heights admission aligns team insiders with the officials’ ruling, reframing the postgame split over the call.

Overview

  • A false start on Chiefs lineman Jaylon Moore nullified what looked like a game‑winning touchdown, moved Kansas City back five yards, and was followed by a Malcolm Roach sack on fourth down that sealed the Broncos’ win.
  • Travis and Jason Kelce told listeners on their New Heights podcast Wednesday that Moore “flinches” and that the play was “definitely a penalty,” publicly backing the officials’ decision.
  • Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid had questioned the call in the immediate postgame, creating a split in team messaging that Kelce’s remarks now narrow.
  • Former Broncos players including Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson publicly defended the flag and pushed back at Chiefs fans who disputed the call, keeping the replay and officiating debate in the headlines.
  • Coach Andy Reid has singled out the team’s 11 penalties and a weak interior pass rush as issues to fix before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, a timeline that raises the prospect of near‑term roster or scheme changes.
