The referees originally labeled the altercation as unsportsmanlike conduct by the Chiefs' bench, which would've led to a penalty. However, Kansas City head Coach Andy Read disputed the call, and the officials subsequently switched the call to a penalty on Harrison, and the safety was ejected.

As of writing this, the Browns lead the Chiefs 22-10 with a few minutes left in the second quarter. Star quarterbacks Baker Mayfield (11/13 143 yards) and Patrick Mahomes (15/20, 169 yards) are both performing well for their respective teams thus far, though neither player has thrown for a touchdown yet. Both teams are expected to contend for a championship this season.
