Patrick Mahomes didn’t have time for pleasantries.
The Chiefs quarterback let Josh Allen know precisely what he considered the controversial offsides penalty that robbed the Chiefs of a possible go-ahead landing within the closing two minutes of their 20-17 dwelling loss to the Payments.
“The wildest f–king name I’ve ever seen. Offensive offsides in that second, man … f–king horrible,” Mahomes instructed Allen after the sport, in accordance with video captured by Information eight WROC. “F–king horrible, man.”
It’s uncommon to see postgame conversations between the quarterbacks which might be one-sided discussions that includes one signal-caller overtly complaining a couple of name that helped the opposite group’s quarterback win, however Mahomes couldn’t assist himself after a name that overshadowed the remainder of the sport.
Trailing by three with lower than two minutes remaining, Mahomes discovered Travis Kelce on the Payments’ 24-yard line earlier than he lateraled to Kadarius Toney.
The ex-Big then raced into the tip zone to seemingly put the Chiefs forward … however some yellow laundry was on the sector.
The referees made the uncommon ruling that Toney had lined up offsides on the play, negating some of the good performs – by Kelce – in NFL historical past.
Mahomes then tossed three straight incompletions and the Payments escaped Arrowhead with a win.
The 2-time MVP stewed on the sidelines after turning the ball over, which carried into his post-game interplay with Allen.
“Allow us to play the sport,” Mahomes mentioned. “Then, no matter occurs occurs. That’s why final week, I didn’t say something. Allow us to play. You need it to be about your group and their group — and see what occurs. I wish to go play … then see what occurs on the finish. Then, I can dwell with the outcomes.
“The flag immediately was robust. Offensive offsides. You level to the ref, you’re good or not good. You’ve a dialogue. That’s the ref’s job. For him to throw that flag, no rationalization or something. I noticed the image. He’s barely offsides. It didn’t have an effect on the play in any respect. In any respect.”
