Tait said he knew Green was in trouble.
"We made eye contact and he flipped me the ball," Tait said. "I've never had the ball before, not even in Pop Warner. When I was a kid I always dreamed about doing something like that, but in the dream, I score the winning touchdown."
Rudd was sure he had tackled Green before the quarterback got rid of the ball.
"I thought he was down," Rudd said. "When I tackled him, he rolled over on my facemask. I looked up and saw triple zeros on the clock and thought the game was over."
The Browns thought they had won their season opener and began walking across the field to shake hands when referee Ron Blum waved them back to the bench.
Blum then announced the infraction against Rudd, and said Kansas City's kick would be an untimed play.
Andersen, who kicked a 33-yarder in the third quarter, then split the uprights to give Kansas City the stunning victory and cap a wild afternoon of scoring.
