Isaiah Likely's Frustrations Boil Over After Controversial Overturned Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely unleashed some choice words at Kansas City Chiefs fans after his game-tying touchdown was overturned, denying the Ravens a chance to tie the game.

In the aftermath of the heart-wrenching loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night, Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely found himself in the midst of a heated exchange with Chiefs fans. Social media footage captured Likely muttering "F--- you, b----" as he returned to the locker room moments after his would-be game-tying touchdown was overturned, gifting the Chiefs a narrow 27-20 victory.

The controversy stemmed from a last-second catch by Likely in the back of the end zone, which appeared to tie the game. However, upon review, officiating crew chief Shawn Hochuli ruled that Likely's toes were out of bounds, negating the touchdown and effectively ending the Ravens' hopes.
