Travis Kelce’s potential 85th career touchdown was taken off the board in the first quarter as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Indianapolis Colts in a crucial conference game on Sunday.
Kelce lined up in the shotgun formation and took the direct shot through the middle of the defense and into the end zone. Chiefs fans at Arrowhead Stadium thought Kansas City had six points on the board with the chance to tie the game with an extra point from Harrison Butker.

However, NFL officials called offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor to ask for a mask. The Chiefs were assessed a 15-yard personal foul penalty and the touchdown was overturned. Chiefs fans immediately booed when the replay was shown on the board.
The replay of the CBS broadcast appeared to show Taylor’s arm on the helmet of Colts defensive lineman Kwity Paye. It doesn’t appear that Taylor actually caught the Colts player.

NFL fans took notice on social media.
Ultimately, the Chiefs would settle for a field goal to make the game 7-3 with the Colts leading early in the second quarter.
