• New England Patriots receiver N'Keal Harry scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the referees ruled he stepped out of bounds before he got to the end zone.
• Replays showed Harry did not step out of bounds, but the play could not be reviewed because the Patriots were out of challenges and the referees had not ruled it a scoring play, which are automatically reviewed.
• The Patriots were out of challenges because they had used their challenges on the previous possession to get a fumble call overturned, prompting criticism of the referees.
