Simply put, we’ve never seen Patrick Mahomes melt down as he did on Sunday after a 20-17 defeat to the Buffalo Bills.
After a Kadarius Toney offsides call wiped out what could have been a wild game-winning touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs, Mahomes went straight at the referees. Then he claimed that the (again, correct) call hurt Travis Kelce’s Hall of Fame career. (Kelce is strutting into the Hall of Fame the moment he’s eligible.)
We should’ve seen all of this coming after Mahomes’ postgame exchange with the Bills’ Josh Allen. In a video courtesy of Thad Brown and WROC-TV in Buffalo, Mahomes was fuming. He didn’t spare one of his top quarterback peers from sharing his feelings about the officiating.

Man, what on Earth is going with Mahomes? He’s usually one of the more calm and collected NFL players. This whole tantrum from the field to the press room does not reflect well upon him after getting an unlucky call. And Allen shouldn’t have to listen to Mahomes throw a fit about the refs when he was already greeting his rival out of respect.
I’m almost in disbelief Mahomes was down this badly after just one loss. It’s legitimately shocking to see.
