“It’s the worst call I’ve seen all year. It’s literally the worst call I’ve seen all year,” Romo said. “He’s guarded. They’ll say he runs a route. They think he picks 53. That’s not the case. He goes to his own guy guarding him and says it’s pass interference on him.
“This is ridiculous. You know this happens almost every game when you press something, right?”
The Chiefs were able to rally after the penalty, which forced them back to their own 3-yard line.
