Patrick Mahomeshas words for the refs who ruinedTravis Kelce’s “legendary moment.”
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback displayed uncharacteristic emotion — laced with profanity — on the sidelines following an controversial call that negated Kelce’s lateral pass that led to Kadarius Toney’s touchdown on Sunday.
After the refs waived off the score, saying Toney was offside, the Chiefs went on to lose the game to the Buffalo Bills 20-17.
The decision, however, was something Mahomes could beheard in video clipscalling, “F—ing terrible,” and “F—ing embarrassing.” He then slammed his helmet to the ground and told Bills quarterbackJosh Allenit was the “wildest f—ing call I’ve ever seen.”
And in the post-game presser, Mahomes blamed the officiating for the Chiefs’ loss.
“I mean, it’s obviously tough to swallow, not only for me but just for football in general. To take away greatness like that, for a guy like Travis to make a play like that, and who knows if we win,” the player said,via the team’s official transcript.
