Patrick Mahomes has finally been caught.
During Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was caught on a hit mic asking a ref seemingly asking them to help them with a defender on the Broncos.
It doesn’t get more blatant than that.
Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to win their third consecutive Super Bowl, a feat that has never been accomplished in the league’s history.
They currently have an impressive 8-0 start and total control of the AFC West.
What Patrick Mahomes Said Won’t Help The Narrative That The Chiefs Get Favorable Calls
Fans who think the Kansas City Chiefs get preferential treatment from NFL officials are now being shown that they are not crazy for thinking so after Patrick Mahomes was caught on camera asking a ref to help him.
Officials have constantly missed calls on them or called penalties on opposing teams to greatly help them.
In an interview on the Up & Adams Show, Rob Gronkowski claimed that the Kansas City Chiefs receive more favorable referee calls compared to his time with the New England Patriots.
Mahomes has had the most interceptions called back since 2018, with 17 since 2018 called back to penalties.
The Chiefs have also won 15 games with fewer penalties than their opponents since the 2022 season
