Andy Reid wonders why official didn't warn Dee Ford he was offside

Championship Sunday was filled with pivotal plays and penalties in both games that swung the fates of teams battling for a Super Bowl berth.

One of the biggest was an offside penalty on Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford. Officials flagged Ford for lining up in the neutral zone on a play that resulted in Charvarius Ward intercepting New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Penalty dooms Chiefs
The interception that would have all but sealed a Chiefs victory was wiped off the board with around a minute left in regulation, and Brady marched the Patriots to a touchdown before New England eventually won in overtime.

Unlike the game-changing fiasco in New Orleans, there was no wrangling over this call. Ford was clearly lined up well into the neutral zone. Heartbreaking? Yes. Controversial? No.

Except Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Monday that he wasn’t completely satisfied with how officials handled Ford on the pivotal penalty.


Andy Reid didn’t dispute the call against Dee Ford but wondered aloud why officials didn’t give him a heads up. (Getty)
Andy Reid: Ford wasn’t warned he was offside
“Normally, you’re warned and the coach is warned if somebody is doing that before they throw it in a game of that magnitude,” Reid told reporters. “But they did. And he didn’t waste any time in doing it.

“He didn’t wait until the interception to throw it. He had his hand on his flag right from the get go, and he saw it from his angle, and he thought it was the call.”

Neutral zone infraction rule
Section 3 of the NFL rule book entry on neutral zone infractions addresses that a player who has been warned about infractions is to be automatically penalized, even if he corrects his illegal position prior to the snap.

A player, after he has received a warning, enters into the neutral zone. It is a foul, even if he returns to a legal position prior to the snap without contacting an opponent or causing a reaction (movement) by an offensive player in close proximity.
What isn’t addressed there and what isn’t clear to the viewer is how and when players are warned. Whatever that process is, Reid appears to believe Ford was not afforded a warning he believed he was due.

Chiefs got away with one on INT. Bad calls go both ways

he was a blocker at that point. I'm sure that happens quite a bit on returns. He also looks like he was falling down

[King_Chief_Fan]

How embarrassing for Reid to say that
Whine all you want

Where was the HC, OLC, DC and why didn't they say something?

Would also like to know how this is PI on Jackson (and not OPI on Kelce)... pic.twitter.com/YMph6WAO8u

For all the PI talk...there was another blatant non-(offensive) pass interference call that benefited the Chiefs and almost cost the Patriots the game pic.twitter.com/4JDt70Rrmt

He was a blocker. It wasn't hands to the face. He was falling down.

Im no fan of Edelman but shouldn't this have been a post possession personal foul on the hit to his head? pic.twitter.com/rN3NBPxRzn

I don’t know what to tell you if you don’t think that’s a blow to head.

I never said it wasn't.

He wasn't a receiver or a qb. He was being blocked and fell down. That's why the contact was to his head.

Do defenders get the same protection as wrs. RBS. And qbs?
