NFL Referee Experienced an Awkward Conclusion to Chiefs-Steelers Christmas Day Matchup
On Christmas Day, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs dominated Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers, securing a decisive 29–10 victory on the road. This win boosted their impressive season record to 15–1, solidifying the two-time defending champions’ position as the top seed in the AFC. The Chiefs will now enjoy a well-deserved bye week, which promises to be a special time for Mahomes and his family.
The game concluded in an unusual manner when referee Craig Wrolstad called for a 10-second runoff due to a Steelers penalty with just two seconds remaining. He initially appeared ready to reverse his decision but paused to reconsider before ultimately confirming that the game was over.
Ian Eagle, commentating for Netflix, added a humorous touch to the situation, quipping: “Craig, you want to take it back? We’ll give you a Christmas mulligan.”
