However, it appeared as if Chiefs safety\u00a0<strong>Bryan Cook<\/strong>\u00a0might have committed defensive pass interference, which is a penalty. The referees in the game did NOT make this call, and thus, the Falcons ended up losing the game. Had defensive pass interference been called, the Falcons would have been given a \u201cfresh set of downs\u201d \u2013 aka, they would have had more opportunities to score, and potentially, win the game. Instead, the score remained 22-17, and the Chiefs got the ball back.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__child-0\" data-instance-child=\"eMRSJ\">\n<div id=\"article_InContent1\" data-instance=\"42NJo\" data-cmd=\"true\">\n<div class=\"ad__h360 ad__h400--max\" data-instance-child=\"42NJo\">\n<div class=\"cnx-ui-wrapper cnx-bp-xl-lit\">\n<p>The Chiefs ended up winning, but Falcons fans are not happy that it does appear that Bryan Cook should have been been called for pass interference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Referee\u00a0<strong>Tra Blake<\/strong>\u00a0was asked about the non-call decision,\u00a0sharing, \u201cThat is a real-time call that officials have to make a judgment on. From the angle that they had at the time, they did not feel there was a foul committed. We do the best we can to make that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Falcons coach\u00a0<strong>Raheem Morris<\/strong>\u00a0was asked about the non-call, and he\u00a0said, \u201cI like my money. I like my money that [Falcons team owner]\u00a0<strong>Arthur Blank<\/strong>\u00a0gives me. I\u2019m very smart enough to be aware enough to talk about officials. They made the call or they didn\u2019t make the call, it is what it is. We had a chance to win the football game on the last play of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is a belief that Chiefs often get game winning calls made in their direction, and some fans have progressed this narrative over the years.
