Overview
- Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket he was informed the decision "came from New York," contradicting referee Craig Wrolstad’s postgame statement that it was an on‑field ruling.
- By rule, a player aligned near the center is treated as the quarterback and must be set for at least one second before going in motion, a nuance Jared Goff said he and coaches did not know.
- The flag arrived after an unusually long delay of roughly 75 seconds, the touchdown was erased, and a subsequent delay of game preceded Detroit opting for a 28‑yard field goal.
- Campbell said he takes full responsibility for unclear instruction on the play as scrutiny over officiating intensified with Detroit flagged four times and Kansas City assessed none.
- Separately, safety Brian Branch received a one‑game suspension for a postgame act and has appealed, according to the league’s disciplinary notice.
