Patrick Mahomes pushes back on notion referees favor Chiefs

New York Times  

Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes dismissed talks of the referees favoring Kansas City in Saturday’s playoff win over the Houston Texans, saying other plays “decided the outcome of that football game.” “I’ve learned that no matter what happens during the game, something is going to come out about it if you win, if you continue to win,” Mahomes said Wednesday on 96.5 The Fan. Obviously, there was a call here and there that people didn’t agree with, but at the same time I think there were a lot of other plays that decided the outcome of that football game.” The Chiefs defeated the Texans 23-14 in the divisional round, securing their seventh straight appearance in the AFC Championship Game. Officials called the first penalty against the Texans’ Will Anderson Jr. for roughing the passer when Anderson’s helmet made contact with Mahomes in the first quarter. Will Anderson was called for roughing the passer on Patrick Mahomes on this play.#HOUvsKC | ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ pic.twitter.com/bTn7Z5XoLZ — ESPN January 18, 2025 The second penalty, for unnecessary roughness, helped the Chiefs cross midfield in the third quarter on their way to a touchdown for a 20-12 lead.
