Nah, they made the right call.

It was an incomplete pass and the defender 100% hit Mahomes in the head.

Chiefs are still under 2ft away from being the worst team.

That was incomplete.

But it was also definitely roughing.

It was a fumble. His arm was hit. The hit was simultaneous. I think this is still a contact sport?

The arm was hit but he was passing the ball. That's a forward pass, can't be a fumble.

And yes it's a contact sport, but you can't hit people in the head, especially the QB.

The arm and ball were moving forward before it came out. It wasn't even all that close. You review it 1000 times and 0 of them are a fumble. The ball has to be loose on the backswing to be a fumble. Any forward motion at all with the ball not clearly loose makes it a pass.

You can't hit a QB in the head. You especially can't hit a QB only in the head.
