Quarterback Aidan O&#8217;Connell had his team in position for a game-winning field goal before an errant snap ricocheted off his chest in the final seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Linebacker Nick Bolton was there to hop on the ball for the Chiefs, but not before a penalty was called. A sideline official appeared to suggest a false start should have been called, which would have blown the play dead and Kansas City would not have taken possession.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div data-google-query-id=\"CM38m4DUhYoDFaVFwgUdHpUNZg\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<p>However, after a conversation between the officials, an illegal shift was the ultimate call &#8211; a penalty that doesn&#8217;t involve the play being blown dead.

Since the clock was stopped (spike on the 2nd down play), an illegal shift is a live ball foul,&#8221; the league said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-twitter-embed\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed mm-embed--twitter l-inline\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the end the Chiefs walked out with their 11th win of the season and set an NFL record for their 14th consecutive one-score win.
