UNFAIR: The #Chiefs offensive line continues to JUMP EARLY before the snap and refs as always somehow ‘just MISS it’

Here is Jawaan Taylor CLEARLY starting early pic.twitter.com/IWBLOlKfNL

This is not a legal formation for the right tackle. At worst, he must even with the rear-most part of the center. He is clearly behind – consistently, yet the referees are swallowing their whistle, allowing the Chiefs OL to have an advantage in blocking Hutchinson.

NBC's Terry McAulay on Chiefs' RT Jawaan Taylor: "He's really not remotely close, and it's really putting the defensive end at a tremendous disadvantage when you can be that far back."

Taylor appeared well behind the LOS and appeared to start early throughout the game. pic.twitter.com/2UrkTH8bTo

Are they ever going to throw a flag on this Chiefs right tackle?

Dude is moving before the snap on every damn play and he’s lining up in the backfield on passing downs.

Chiefs Right Tackle just cheating the whole game

After last season we heard a lot about how the NFL really didn’t want officiating issues to dominate the conversation after signature games.

Then in the first game of the following season, its crew allows a right tackle to line up illegally and commit false starts all night.
