“Is This Actually Allowed?”: Moments After Patrick Mahomes’ Wife Raises A Red Flag, NFL Takes Action On Bengals’ Phoney Move

On Sunday night, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a shocking defeat against the Bengals. Notably, after becoming a father for the second time, this was Mahomes’ first game, and he started on a losing note, despite putting on a great performance. On the other hand, Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, was not happy with the refereeing and some of the calls in this game.

She took to social media and posted several comments on the game. One particular post intrigued many, as one of the Bengals players faked an injury to waste time in the final minutes; Brittany made fun of it. Now it seems like the NFL noticed this incident and immediately took action.

Notably, the Bengals’ safety, Jessie Bates went down easily in the final minutes, presumably with a cramp. And then, the Bengals had to substitute him. Brittany Mahomes took to Twitter and posted a video of this incident, where it looked like he was faking the cramp.

In the caption, Mahomes’ wife wrote, “Like is this actually allowed?”

After this incident, the NFL warned other teams against faking injuries. Also, they handed out a memo to every team and made some rule changes regarding deliberate actions to delay the game; otherwise known as fake injuries.

According to the latest memo, the NFL will review the medical records of the suspected player faking an injury and they will interview everyone involved, from the coach to the player. If found guilty, the club has to pay a minimum of $350,000 fine. Then the head coach will pay a minimum fine of $100,000, $50,000 for each assistant coach; in the end, the player responsible for it will have to pay also $50,000 as a minimum fine.

According to sources, the league is investigating multiple instances and the Bengals’ incident against the Chiefs could be one of them.

Mahomes had another great game

Meanwhile, the Chiefs lost their first game against the Bengals after winning 5 games in a row. Patrick Mahomes had another great outing on the field, as he threw 223 yards for one passing touchdown; then, he had one rushing touchdown as well.

Despite that, his team failed to win the game against the Bengals. Notably, this was just their 3rd loss of the season. With 9 wins, they are the favorites to come out on top in the AFC West division. It will be interesting to see if they get the overall no.1 seed in the AFC, which will be beneficial for them, as they will get a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Next Sunday, the Chiefs will play the Broncos in another road game.
