The Kansas City Chiefs are on track to potentially make NFL history as they aim to secure the league’s first-ever three-peat. However, much of the recent conversation surrounding the team has focused on the role of referees in their recent divisional round playoff win over the Houston Texans.
During the game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was involved in some controversial calls, including one roughing the passer and unnecessary roughness call in his favor. Despite the Chiefs winning by a comfortable margin and the calls not impacting the outcome significantly, debate around the officiating persisted.
In an interview on 96.5 The Fan in Kansas City, Mahomes addressed the controversy, emphasizing that regardless of the calls made during a game, there will always be discussions about officiating if a team continues to win. He acknowledged that there were plays that influenced the game’s outcome beyond the controversial calls.
Mahomes also addressed discussions about his style of play potentially drawing roughing the passer penalties. He admitted to possibly going overboard on one occasion but defended his actions on another play where he was avoiding contact.
As the Chiefs continue their journey towards a potential third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, Mahomes remains focused on making smart decisions to keep himself in the game and contribute to his team’s success. With the support of his teammates, including standout player Travis Kelce, the Chiefs look to make NFL history this season.
