Legendary Cleveland Browns offensive lineman and Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Thomas called out Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during Saturday’s Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans.
Clay Martin and his NFL referee crew faced immense criticism for several questionable calls that benefited Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs. This included two bizarre “Roughing the Passer” penalties drawn by Mahomes, and ESPN analyst Troy Aikman couldn’t hold back his frustration with one of the calls:
Fed up with the calls that helped Kansas City, Thomas took to X/Twitter and thanked Mahomes for “exploiting the sham” quarterback rules, noting that it could force the NFL to make significant changes:
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans and several players voiced their frustrations with the officials after the game. Per ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime, Will Anderson Jr. bluntly stated, “We knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game.”
NFL Officiating Rules Analyst Walt Anderson: Calls Were Correct
Speaking on “NFL Gameday”, NFL officiating rules analyst and former league referee Walt Anderson stated that the two “Roughing the Passer’ penalties against Houston were correct, based on the rules.

Ryan Caldwell, the Philadelphia Eagles fan who went viral for cruelly verbally abusing Green Bay Packers fan Ally Keller during Sunday’s Wild Card Round game, has broken his silence on the incident.
Keller attended the game at Lincoln Financial Field with her fiancé, Alexander Basara. The latter shared a viral video of Ryan Caldwell verbally abusing Keller and using derogatory language towards her.
The Eagles have since announced that Caldwell has received a lifetime ban from home games. He was also fired from his job as a project manager at the BCT Partners consulting firm.
Speaking to Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post, Ryan Caldwell expressed remorse for his actions and apologized to Keller. He also claims that the video shared by Basara doesn’t provide the entire “context” of their verbal altercation:
“While attending an NFL game last Sunday to support my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, an incident occurred that I deeply regret. What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable. In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller.
I want to sincerely apologize to Ms. Keller for those words, and to my wife, family, and friends, my former employer and colleagues, Packer fans, Eagle fans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the City of Philadelphia, and all who were offended.
That said, there are two sides to every story. The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation. I will live with this experience, and I am certainly paying a personal price. For those who don’t know me, this incident does not reflect my values or the respect I have for others and is not indicative of the person I am.”
