Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid were furious after NFL officials grabbed their penalty flags in the second quarter of the Chiefs' game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.

Mahomes was looking for a deep pass to Hardman, and it looked like safety Brandon Jones got a piece of Hardman as he tried to make his way down the field.

No flag was thrown.
