There have been 16 penalty plays that have swung the win percentage by at least 10%. The highest total through three weeks in the year 2000.”For the unversed, the Kansas City Chiefs were leading 14–10 late in the third quarter at the Week 3 game against the Miami Dolphins when Patrick Mahomes threw an incomplete pass down the middle intended for Rashee Rice.As Patrick Mahomes released the ball, Miami Dolphins’ defensive end Chop Robinson broke through the defensive line and took the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback down to the grass with his full body weight.Referees immediately threw a yellow flag against Miami Dolphins’ defensive end Chop Robinson for roughing the passer.
