KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs have played only two all-time games against Frank Crum. There’s already plenty of history.
The NFL had the last word in the latest chapter, slapping Kansas City’s Kingsley Suamataia with an $8,108 fine.
After Brashard Smith’s touchdown reception in the second quarter, Suamataia was blocking Crum on the extra point. Crum either said something or did something to get under Suamataia’s skin, and the guard threw an open-handed howitzer at Crum’s facemask.
While Suamataia absorbed the only financial penalties from the incident after the league reviewed film this week, officials actually flagged both Suamataia and Denver’s John Franklin-Myers for unnecessary roughness after Harrison Butker’s successful PAT.
After reviewing film, Suamataia received not only the only fine from the play but also the only fine from the game. Denver did not have a player fined from its 20-13 victory, but the league got Suamataia for striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing.
On Nov. 16 in Denver, Crum first introduced himself to the Chiefs. With Suamataia on the sideline being evaluated for a concussion, Crum capitalized on the Chiefs’ backup blockers to sneak through the middle and block Butker’s PAT. It was a critical play in the Broncos’ 22-19 victory.
