Why was this not ruled a TD catch by Tyreek Hill?
The Kansas City Chiefs were seeing red after Coach Andy Reid didn’t throw the challenge flag on what should have been a touchdown catch by Tyreek Hill.
Watch:
A play so wild, Tyreek didn't even know he caught it!

This throw to Tyreek Hill on 3rd down was ruled an incompletion.
The Chiefs chose not to challenge the call and punted the ball on 4th down. pic.twitter.com/myEaiF6tTB

Hill came down with Patrick Mahomes long throw but the officials ruled it incomplete. For some reason, Reid and the Chiefs never challenged the play, choosing to punt on fourth down.
And punt is what they did by not questioning the call, which created a firestorm of sorts on Twitter.
Adding insult to no inquiry, the Broncos scored on their ensuing drive to take a 10-3 lead after the PAT.
Did that 🏈 hit the ground? Don’t believe it did

Brutal job by NBC going to commercial there just as Hill and Andy Reid realized it was a TD.
