Patrick Mahomes was denied a walk-off win by the referees on Sunday, and a person close to him had some choice words for them.
With four seconds left in that day’s game against the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback appeared to connect with Rashee Rice for a touchdown. However, the play was nullified because of a false start on Jaylon Moore:
Thanks for the submission!

The Chiefs had to restart the snap five yards back, and Mahomes was sacked by Malcolm Roach before he could release the ball, resulting in a 24-28 loss:

Sometime after the game, his wife Brittany took to Instagram Stories to condemn the referees for how they handled the play:
“You can’t tell me you call that on a game-winning TD. Oh yeah, wait, I can cause it’s us. That was the weakest call I have ever seen. You can’t tell me otherwise.”
As for Mahomes, he had this to say about the call during post-game media availability:
“I have not seen it, but it didn’t surprise me or catch me or anything like that, so it couldn’t have been big, but it was called. I mean, at the end of the day, you have to go with whatever is called, but a lot of times in those big moments, the little stuff doesn’t get called like that.”
