The game clock was not running. The refs never windmilled their arms. The clock only started when Mahomes snapped it - as it should after a penalty with less than 2 minutes left in the first half - whether declined or not.

Read the rule. https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules...nal-grounding/ Quote:
Mahomes was not facing an imminent loss of yardage because of defensive pressure. Ergo, not intentional grounding. And then there's this: Quote:

![]() Sounds like two competing confusingly worded rules. |

That article is just citing what was said on the broadcast. WHICH IS WRONG. IT'S NOT IN THE RULEBOOK IT'S WRONG.

"is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time" - I guess in their minds that implies it is not legal if the game clock is not running and a spike would not save time.

There is exactly ONE mention of the term "spike" in the 2018 NFL rulebook.
It says NOTHING about "impermissible spikes" or "clock stopped" THEY LIED

We’ve all watched a million games. It’s ****ed. The official is supposed to spot the ball and wind it. What took him so long? Why do we have to get highly technical with the specifics and even the rules contradicts each other.
Let it go, because it’s been done hundreds of times in the past with no calls. |

Yeah if that's really the only line of the rule - that's pretty damn ambiguous and it sounds like the refs overreached. Will be interesting to see if the league clarifies.

you'd overreach too if you were trying to cover your dumb ass in front of 80,000 people

That's the confusing part. As soon as the ball is snapped, the clock is running, therefore you can spike the ball

There were not 80,000 people in that stadium today.

Mahomes met all the printed stipulations for a legal spike. He avoided all of the printed stipulations for intentional grounding.
