Calls Mount to Protect ‘Victim’ Patrick Mahomes as Ex-NFLer Fights Back Against Chiefs QB’s Haters After Rough Tackle
Patrick Mahomes has once again found himself at the center of controversy and this time probably for his acting skills. Not the first time, huh? All of this has transpired after the Kansas City Chiefs’ latest victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
With the team continuing its winning streak, the NFL community has quickly turned its attention to the quarterback’s actions.
As opinions clash, the drama showcases the rollercoaster relationship between star players and public perception.
The drama hit full swing when Mahomes threw a pass late in the fourth quarter. After releasing the ball, he was allegedly pushed by Raiders linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson.
This sparked a feud on X between Kyle Long and a user named Mike, who declared Mahomes should face a fine for his theatrics. “Do not need the league turning into soccer.” Kyle quickly fired back, saying, “Victim blaming is not cool,” emphasizing that Mahomes wasn’t at fault here.
It’s a wild dynamic! One moment, Long is defending Mahomes; the next, fans are tearing him apart.
Mahomes isn’t new to this kind of scrutiny. Last season, he was grilled for similar instances, particularly during the AFC Championship against the Bengals.
He’s previously pushed back against the “flopping” label, saying, “The most pain I had was stopping… Once he pushed me, it would have been hard to put my foot on the ground and try to stop.”
On the field, though, Mahomes was on fire against the Raiders.
He threw for 262 yards with two TDs, hitting a record milestone as the fastest quarterback to reach 30,000 yards in just 103 games. He even set up Travis Kelce for his first touchdown of the season.
And yes that contributed to the team’s 27-20 win! Being on a 13-game winning streak, The Chiefs are proving their dominance each week.
Have an interesting take?
As the on-field action unfolded, so did the fan reactions. Many were quick to defend Mahomes, with users pointing out, “There’s no reason for anyone touching Mahomes 5 seconds after the ball is released.”
Another fan, backed the penalty, saying it was necessary given the circumstances. Others bristled, calling Chaisson’s hit “totally unnecessary.”
A fan echoed this sentiment, stating, “Nah, good penalty, the play was over, and no reason to hit him other than being frustrated he could throw the pass off.“ Others simply labeled the hit “stupid.”
Yet, a sizable chunk of fans weren’t having it. Comments ranged from “I hope he gets suspended for this garbage” to mocking remarks about his “acting skills” with lines like, “Flopping like another supposed goat.”
Ultimately, the discussions swirling around Patrick Mahomes highlight the ever-complex relationship between athletic performance and public perception.
Whether defending him or pointing fingers, fans can’t seem to get enough of the drama.
As the Chiefs march on and more games loom ahead, expect this saga to keep evolving, pushing the boundaries of how we perceive both the player and the game itself.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting season full of surprises—drama included.
