The Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings game went down to the wire, but what happened with L’Jarius Sneed and the officials had everybody upset. The referees let Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jarious Sneed get away with a helmet violation in their game against the Vikings.
Officials didn’t call pass interference on Kansas City Chiefs and then Sneed who was upset about a flag being thrown, took off his helmet and began to argue with refs. Instead of throwing a flag for that, they told him to put his helmet back on.
After an on-field conference, the officials announced there would be no pass interference call, rescinding the flag and drawing the ire of the U.S. Bank Stadium crowd.
We now have a video of that ref telling Sneed to put his helmet on, which drastically helped the Chiefs in this late.
Had officials flagged Sneed for taking off his helmet rather than seemingly advising him to put it back on during their discussions, Kansas City would’ve had first-and-10 but half-the-distance to the goal on their next offensive snap.
