A chronology of the play ......



A) l Mahomes was running towards the sidelines to go out of bounds.


B) l Mahomes came to a complete stop JUST BEFORE going out of bounds ...... knowing that a Texans defender would push him in the back (which is legal, because Mahomes was still in bounds.)


C) l The Texans defender pushed Mahomes in the back, not particularly hard (although he was in his rights to push him as hard as he wanted to, because Mahomes was still in bounds and there was nothing stopping him from turning up-field to try to get more yardage.)


D) l After getting a not-so-hard shove in the back, Mahomes jumped forward, as though he were just hit by a Cadillac automobile.


E) l With the Kansas City crowd screaming for a penalty, the referees correctly swallowed their whistles and did not penalize the Texans defender.
