Even on a call the crew got right, Marcus Mariota's insane touchdown pass to himself, Triplette explained that it was legal because Mariota was in the shotgun before the play.
Referee Jeff Triplette explained the rulings after the game.
Wrong. Triplette ruled that Mariota's forward progress had been stopped.
"Horrible way to start the playoffs", Mike Pereira, former NFL VP of officiating, wrote on Twitter.
The play that will irk Chiefs fans for a long time came in the second quarter.
The game was so poorly officiated by the refereeing crew that after 19 years in the league, NFL referee Jeff Triplette has made a decision to call it a career and retire, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. He clearly fumbled the ball and the Chiefs recovered.
Did Lana Del Rey Rip Off Radiohead's 'Creep'?
The band are reportedly considering suing the U.S. artist if they do not receive compensation or a writing credit for the song. In fact, Radiohead were sued over the tune sounding suspiciously like The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe".
Kevin Mirallas leaves Everton for Olympiakos on loan
But he has found opportunities limited so far this season, making just five Premier League appearances and only two starts. He has 59 caps for Belgium and will hope to be part of their squad for this summer's World Cup.
Apple to issue fix for devices at risk 'soon'
Current updates to macOS and iOS protect against Meltdown, and Apple is working on providing better protections against Spectre. Here's the issue: Modern processors are created to perform something called "speculative execution" to enhance performance.
Triplette's post-game explanation about "forward progress" is unlikely to satisfy the complainers, least of all the Chiefs. And that cost the Chiefs six points in what ultimately ended up being a one-point loss.
There were other questionable calls.
There's a pretty good argument that Triplette's crew impacted the outcome of the game: on a sack of Marcus Mariota by Derrick Johnson, where the Titans quarterback was hit like a freight train and fumbled the football. The Titans had a complaint too, having to waste a replay challenge on a third-down spot that was way off early in the game.
Triplette's response to questions from a pool reporter after the game sounded a lot like someone who did not give one care in the world for any criticism.
The Tennessee Titans needed some kind of spark to wiggle back into their game against Kansas City on Saturday, and quarterback Marcus Mariota found a insane way to do it - just not on goal.
