Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, referee Tra Blank spoke with a pool reporter and had this to say in a Q&A: “That is a real-time call that officials have to make a judgment on. From the angle that they had at the time, they did not feel that there was a foul committed.”

Falcons players and coach Raheem Morris talked about the play involving the Chiefs’ Bryan Cook and Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts that upset fans.

Falcons S Justin Simmons dismissed the poor missed DPI call late in the Chiefs' win, noting that one single play did not lose the game for Atlanta.
