Rashee Rice Lifts Chiefs on MNF, Draws Taunting Flag

Kansas City is expanding the wideout’s duties following a six-game suspension, with his late taunting call headed for routine NFL review.

Overview

  • In his second game back, Rice caught nine passes for 93 yards and a touchdown as the Chiefs beat the Commanders 28-7 at Arrowhead.
  • Andy Reid featured Rice on a Wildcat direct snap for seven yards to the 1-yard line, a sequence that preceded Kansas City’s first touchdown.
  • Rice was penalized 15 yards for taunting after a catch when his toss struck safety Quan Martin’s helmet late in the fourth quarter.
  • He told reporters he was trying to throw the ball to the referee, though the league’s standard postgame review could result in a fine.
  • Through two games since reinstatement, Rice has 16 receptions for 135 yards and three touchdowns, as Kansas City has won five of its last six games.
