Not really. The ref tried to stop the play, but wasn’t successful. It’s happened before, and the refs have allowed the gains made by the offense in such situations to count. If KC had gained a first down, the refs may well have allowed it to stand.
In a very real way, the Chiefs got five downs on that series.
Also, what sack are you referring to? The one that the refs erased with a defensive holding call?
