Now that the dust has settled since the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes softened his position regarding the work of the officials during the meeting.
On Sunday, when a penalty took a winning touchdown off the board at the end of the game, Mahomes was beside himself on the field and he criticized the work of the referees with choice words.
His anger even extended during the handshake following the meeting with the other team in addition to the media press briefings.
It’s all over the web and, inevitably, Mahomes had to answer for his reaction Monday morning in Kansas City.
Patrick Mahomes joined @cdotharrison on #TheDrive and explained that he regrets the way he reacted on the sideline following the offside call on Toney.

During a telephone interview with the station 610 Sports RadioMahomes put water in his wine.
“Obviously, I didn’t want to react like that. It’s clear that I’m passionate on the pitch, I love football and I love my teammates. I want to go out on the field and give everything to win. Except we can’t react like that and we can’t treat officials like that. In fact, you can’t treat anyone like that. »
More than anything, Mahomes clarifies that he regrets his interaction with Josh Allen at the end of the meeting since the Bills quarterback had absolutely nothing to do with the situation.
“I was really emotional on Sunday, but you can’t do that. This is not a good example for all the young people watching the games. »
Hot on Sunday, Mahomes admitted that he asked the opinion of several referees regarding the situation, with no return. Except now that he’s seen the footage, he admits it was the right decision on the field.
Mahomes’ softened remarks go in the same direction as those of Andy Reid on Monday, who clarified that he would not reduce the contribution of Kadarius Toney in his game plan. However, he suggested that his young receiver take the trouble to check with the officials in the future on the field.
The NFL might fine Mahomes for his comments and the star quarterback said he would accept the disciplinary committee’s decision.
