In a tightly contested matchup, the Atlanta Falcons faced a controversial finish in their 22-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The game's officials declined to call pass interference against the Chiefs late in the fourth quarter, leaving Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts frustrated after a failed attempt to catch a crucial fourth-down pass.
Referee Tra Blake explained that the officials didn't deem there was a foul based on the angle they had at the moment. Despite an additional opportunity, the Falcons were unable to capitalize, further complicating their situation as they dropped to 1-2 on the season.
Head coach Raheem Morris remained tight-lipped about the officiating decision, emphasizing his desire to avoid a fine. Looking ahead, the Falcons seek to rebound in their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints.
