Mahomes’ outburst came in the 4th quarter of the game when he passed the ball to WR Kadarius Toney. Unfortunately, Toney fumbled with the ball and then lost it. This made Mahomes visibly angry. “There’s no added frustration towards any player, I know how hard these guys work”, Mahomes explained at the press conference.
He further continued, “I’m going to keep firing the ball to him that’s just how I roll. Whenever I see the guy put in the work every single day”. The 2X Super Bowl winner stated that he has confidence in his receivers but also expressed the reason behind his anger on the field.

The Chiefs will host the ‘bad boys’ of the NFL aka the Las Vegas Raiders this week. However, both teams are in different circumstances regarding the playoffs.
