Arrr, mateys! 'Tis a sad tale indeed! Cap'n Andy Reid and his trusted matey, Patrick Mahomes, be slapped with hefty fines by the NFL for their open tongue-lashin' of the officials, followin' their unfortunate defeat at the hands o' the Buffalo Bills. Blimey!
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have been fined by the NFL for their criticism of the officiating in their Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Reid was fined $100,000 for violating league rules against public criticism of game officials, while Mahomes was fined $50,000 for his criticism and unsportsmanlike conduct. The fines were a result of a controversial offensive offside penalty called on Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney, which negated a potential go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. Mahomes was visibly upset after the game and could be heard complaining to Bills quarterback Josh Allen about the call. In a press conference, Mahomes expressed his frustration, saying that it was tough to swallow and that he wanted to see the players on the field decide the game. Reid also voiced his disappointment, noting that he did not receive a warning about Toney's foot placement. Mahomes later regretted his behavior and apologized for his actions towards Allen. The Chiefs have now lost two straight games and will face the New England Patriots next.
