Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed his frustration over a late offensive offsides call that impacted the outcome of the game against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills secured a 20-17 victory at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, dealing the Chiefs their fifth defeat of the season.
In the closing minutes of the game, a penalty negated what would have been a go-ahead touchdown by Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney. The offensive offsides call against Toney became a contentious moment, leading to Mahomes’ heated reaction on the field.
After the game, as Mahomes and Bills quarterback Josh Allen embraced, Mahomes continued to voice his displeasure about the penalty. He referred to it as “the wildest call I’ve ever seen” and criticized the decision as “terrible,” using strong language in his assessment.
Both Mahomes and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed their frustrations with the officials during their respective press conferences. They criticized the timing and impact of the offsides call, considering it occurred in a critical moment of the game.
In terms of performance, Mahomes completed 25 of 43 passes for 271 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Allen, on the other hand, finished 23 of 42 for 233 yards, contributing one touchdown and one interception. Additionally, Allen rushed for 32 yards and scored one touchdown on 10 carries.
The loss dropped the Chiefs to an 8-5 record, affecting their chances of securing the top seed in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Bills improved to 7-6, keeping their playoff hopes alive with the crucial victory.
