It was a punt after a safety. There's a new rule that the kickoff coverage team has to line up within 1 yard of the ball so they can't get a running head start. On the flip side, there's some new rule about how many blockers/returners can line up within a certain box. I don't know what that rule exactly is, but it was a 5 yard penalty and a re-kick. And the way the call was explained the Chiefs didn't seem to have the option to take 5 yards off the end of the return - it had to be moved 5 yards up and re-kicked.
