Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes defend Jawaan Taylor’s recent penalties

Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Jawaan Taylor was called for two illegal formation penalties during the second quarter of the team’s 41-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Taylor has been under the officiating microscope since Week 1 of the NFL season, after NBC announcers Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth made note of his alignment throughout the nationally televised opening-night broadcast.

Since the league has the power to fine him, head coach Andy Reid is typically ultra-cautious when discussing officiating — but after Sunday’s game, he did not bite his tongue.
