By Andrew McCartyShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberThe Kansas City Chiefs appeared to right the ship with an impressive comeback 23-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12 before falling back to .500 with a 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
In Week 12, Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce was involved in two different somewhat controversial plays - one in which CBS color analyst Tony Romo suggested was the worst call he's seen all season. With the Chiefs trailing by three late in the fourth quarter, Kelce was called for an illegal pick.
"It's literally the worst call I've seen all year," Romo said about the play. "He's getting guarded... They think he picks [No.] 53 — he doesn't. He goes to his own guy who's guarding him and they say it's pass interference on him... That is ridiculous."

Earlier in the contest, Kelce had a touchdown wiped off the board when offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor was called for a facemask when his right hand got wrapped around the helmet of defensive end Kwity Paye. The flag whipped a touchdown off the board for Kelce and left Taylor potentially in the sights of the NFL's Operations Department.

In Week 11 the NFL handed out fines to three different players, hitting Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Colby Wooden with a $6,789 fine, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips with an $11,160 fine and Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Jalen Redmond with a $5,333 fine.
Despite being called for a penalty in the game, Taylor did not receive additional punishment from the league. However, teammate Trent McDuffie was hit with an $11,593 fine for his facemask during the contest.
