The second quarter of the game happened to be a rough session for both sides that saw a bunch of touchdowns in the end. One of the highlighting moments was Mahomes getting sacked by Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins Sr.
It looked like a terrible one, something that resembled many of the quarterbacks who experienced a sudden concussion. Although fans were expecting a penalty, no such calls were made. This certainly disappointed Brittany Mahomes, who vented her frustration on social media.
Im confused, we are allowed to tackle quarterbacks like that now? Got it. The inconsistency is BS

“I’m confused, we are allowed to tackle quarterbacks like that now? Got it. The inconsistency is BS,” she wrote on Twitter. ” I’m tired of the dirty hits,” Brittany mentioned in a follow-up tweet. While few of them shared similar views, others resorted to calling her out.
Trent Green just said it’s allowed. It’s weird you can slam a QB, but can’t put your entire weight on a QB when sacking them.
Very inconsistent.

“You saw Pat and what he did — he took care of business today,” Reid said via Arrowhead Report. “He went back to work and worked on it. You’re talking about a guy that if he’s not the MVP of the league, I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. He cleaned it up, he comes out, and we have almost 500 yards of offense.” he added.
