The Chiefs lucked out again to win a one score game thanks to referee help. Go back and look again at that last penalty called.

Why did the refs huddle? There was nothing confusing to me...false start should have been the call since the Raiders' WRs were not set.
The ref who threw the flag came in and appeared to call false start.
That would have nullified the play and given the ball back to the Raiders even though the Chiefs recovered the fumble. That was the right call.
Then we saw a moment of confusion.

Next thing we saw is the refs huddling in private (after shooing away all the players) for a minute and and broke their huddle to announce "illegal shift".

Why? Because it gave the Chiefs the right to decline the penalty which allowed the play to stand and gave the Chiefs the win.

This was too obvious, NFL!!
 
Remember how cool BB was during the last few plays of the SB against the Seahawks? Most NFL coaches pee their pants at the big moments. You appreciate BB when you see coaches choke time after time.

That's all true and I agree.
But that does not let the Raiders coaching staff off the hook.

For trying to get closer to increase their chances at a FG?
I don't think they were wrong to run a quick pass play.
This wasn't an Eberflus moment, imo.
At the time I thought LV would win the game.

They couldn't get the play in. The QB kept looking over to the sideline and everyone looked confused. In that situation you have to call a play so the QB has enough time to look over the defense and change the play if needed.

Or, they could have kicked the FG from that distance. It was not ideal but it was makeable.

NFL explanation but who knows
After the game, the NFL explained why the play was ruled that way.

"Had the clock been running at the snap, then by rule an illegal shift would convert to a false start," a league spokesman said, via The Athletic. "Since the clock was stopped (spike on the second-down play), an illegal shift is a live ball foul."
