Patrick Mahomes fumed to Josh Allen over offsides call


Patrick Mahomes didn’t have time for pleasantries.

The Chiefs quarterback let Josh Allen know exactly what he thought of the controversial offsides penalty that robbed the Chiefs of a potential go-ahead touchdown in the final two minutes in their 20-17 home loss to the Bills.

“The wildest f–king call I’ve ever seen. Offensive offsides in that moment, man … f–king terrible,” Mahomes told Allen after the game, according to video captured by News 8 WROC. “F–king terrible, man.”

It’s rare to see postgame conversations between the quarterbacks that are one-sided discussions featuring one signal-caller openly complaining about a call that helped the other team’s quarterback win, but Mahomes could not help himself after a call that overshadowed the rest of the game.

Trailing by three with less than two minutes remaining, Mahomes found Travis Kelce at the Bills’ 24-yard line before he lateraled to Kadarius Toney.

The ex-Giant then raced into the end zone to seemingly put the Chiefs ahead … but some yellow laundry was on the field.

The referees made the rare ruling that Toney had lined up offsides on the play, negating one of the most brilliant plays – by Kelce – in NFL history.

Mahomes then tossed three straight incompletions and the Bills escaped Arrowhead with a win.

The two-time MVP stewed on the sidelines after turning the ball over, which carried into his post-game interaction with Allen.

“Let us play the game,” Mahomes said. “Then, whatever happens happens. That’s why last week, I didn’t say anything. Let us play. You want it to be about your team and their team — and see what happens. I want to go play … then see what happens at the end. Then, I can live with the results.

“The flag today was tough. Offensive offsides. You point to the ref, you’re good or not good. You have a discussion. That’s the ref’s job. For him to throw that flag, no explanation or anything. I saw the picture. He’s barely offsides. It didn’t affect the play at all. At all.”
