Did anyone see the play in the first quarter of the game they called a chop block on a chiefs reciever, but the announcers said it was the wrong call. and the Chiefs coach said it was wrong also. I know you can not trust coaches and espicaily not announcers, but was that the correct call?

What happened on the play Smoke?

No, it was a terrible call, imo, a rare happening for NFL officials. The tight end was squared up and blocking the cornerback/safety up high then went down low and cut him at the thigh area, which is legal in NFL. I believe this was a classic case of the official not seeing the entire play and guessing based on what he saw, it was a legal block based on NFL rules.
