The Latest: Ford agrees that penalty was 'inexcusable'

MIAMI (AP) — The Latest on Media Night from Super Bowl 54 (all times EST):

10:45 p.m.

Dee Ford agrees with the pass rusher who replaced him in Kansas City that his blunder that cost the Chiefs a Super Bowl trip last season is inexcusable.

Ford was called for lining up in the neutral zone in last year's AFC title game against New England. The penalty negated an interception that would have sealed the win for the Chiefs. New England instead drove down and scored and eventually won the game in overtime.

Ford was traded away last March to San Francisco and the Chiefs brought in Frank Clark to replace him. Clark said earlier in the playoffs that Ford's mistake was inexcusable.

"He's right," Ford said. “It's inexcusable. But don't we all do it?”
