If I'm remembering correctly, there was another play where the Chiefs had Wilson in their grasp and it should have been blown dead, but wasn't and it allowed him to get rid of the ball.

It was an 'interception' (I think from Bolton) that was reversed due to an illegal hands to the face penalty (I think on Williams).
And yeah, really bad job by the officials there. In the old world, I have no problem with them swallowing the whistle because it wasn't impossible that Wilson could've gotten out of there and some of the NFL's most exciting plays have started that way.
But in THIS era, with these silly RTP penalties, you just have to blow the whistle there. You can't let the play go UNLESS you're not gonna call RTP if these guys finish.
And we have no way of knowing if they will/won't until we blast a guy and take a potentially game altering penalty in the process.
Its the inconsistency between crews and even the internal inconsistency WITHIN crews that make this such a problem. The NFL has created a real problem here and they have nobody to blame but themselves for it.
