The Kansas City Chiefs only managed to beat the New England Patriots by two scores in Week 15 after beleaguered wide receiver Kadarius Toney singlehandedly caused a seven-point swing midway through the fourth quarter.
Reigning MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes targeted Toney on what seemed to be a routine pass over the middle. Toney proceeded to bobble the ball as he attempted to reel it in, and Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai stepped in to intercept the throw.
Mahomes was none too pleased when he got back to the sideline. He exchanged some firey words with a coach when he sat down on the bench and was visibly distressed.
