The Kansas City Chiefs were victorious in Week 1 over the Baltimore Ravens following the overturned Isaiah Likely touchdown after it was ruled that his toe landed out of bounds in the back of the endzone.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke to reporters after the 27-20 win on Thursday night to share his thoughts on the thrilling end of the game.
“It looked good from my angle on the sideline, But then that first view you saw, you could see the cleat,” said Mahomes. “That’s a great football team, and I’m sure we’ll see them again at some point in the playoffs. We’re happy with the win now. He’s (Likely) got to wear white cleats next time; that’s my advice for him.”

Likely was on a tear throughout the game as he led all receivers with nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown. The Ravens’ tight end briefly left during the drive due to injury but came back to almost execute the highlight catch. Mahomes’ advice was light-hearted as it was dangerously close to Baltimore tying the game and potentially extending it.
