Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed his support for wide receiver Kadarius Toney despite his costly mistake in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Buffalo Bills. Reid acknowledged Toney's playmaking ability and highlighted his improvement each week. Toney was penalized for lining up offside on a play that would have resulted in a go-ahead touchdown for the Chiefs. Reid advised Toney to check with the official before lining up and emphasized the need for the team to take responsibility for their own mistakes. Reid also expressed disappointment in the lack of communication from the officials and defended quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who expressed frustration with the timing of the penalty call.
