Andy Reid Goes Nuts at Jared Goff and Referees on MNF, Twitter Loves It

There was no love lost between Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff on Monday Night Football.

After the Chiefs had been yet again penalized early in the second quarter, Reid felt particularly aggrieved and remonstrated irately towards with the referees.

An already combustible situation was further exacerbated by Goff, who nonchalantly walked towards the Chiefs bench and the match officials, only to be told in no uncertain terms by Reid that he should return to the field immediately.

"Get back in there!" Kansas City's head coach yelled at Goff as the Rams signal-called wandered innocently towards the touchline.

In fairness, Reid had every right to feel annoyed with the call, as the Chiefs were flagged for pass interference, but the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage, which ultimately negated the call.

The Rams and the Chiefs played out an instant classic, with Los Angeles prevailing 54-51 in the highest-scoring Monday Night Football in history, and the clip of Reid's tirade against Goff almost immediately became a classic of its genre on Twitter.

The NFL had took the unusual step of selecting an "all-star" officiating crew for Monday Night Football, but the decision appears to have backfired, with a few questionable calls along the way. In the first quarter alone, the Chiefs were penalized eight times for 82 yards, with the Rams securing a touchdown in four of those occasions.

"This NFL officiating is hard to watch," former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy tweeted during the game.

"If those two calls are penalties the secondaries will have no chance. There will be 100 points scored tonight."

Dungy's prediction turned out to be absolutely correct as the Rams beat the Chiefs 54-51, in the third-highest scoring game in the history of the NFL and the highest-ever scoring game on Monday Night Football.

After being on the receiving end of Reid's rant, Goff had the last laugh as he expertly piloted the Rams to victory, completing 31 of his 49 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns.

Goff was sacked five times but, crucially, had no interceptions and finished with a quarterback rating of 117.1. His Chiefs counterpart, Patrick Mahomes, outscored him with six touchdown passes for a combined 478 yards but had three interceptions—including two on his team's last two possessions—and two fumbles.

The win improved the Rams' record to 10-1 for the season ahead of their bye in Week 12.
