During the Chiefs’ loss to the Lions on Thursday night, one of the storylines was Jawaan Taylor’s ability to line up seemingly illegally throughout the night. Kansas City’s veteran right tackle appeared to set up behind the rest of the Chiefs’ offensive line, but it wasn’t called for most of the game.
That is, until the final drive of the night, when the referees called Taylor for a false start during a crucial drive. On the penalty, NBA analyst Cris Collinsworth described Taylor in a way that makes it clear he didn’t think the tackle was playing by the rules.
“You see Jawaan Taylor playing slot receiver finally got busted,” Collinsworth joked on the broadcast.
