Mic’d up Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes delivered a surprisingly classy message to Houston Texans linebacker Henry To’oTo’o after drawing a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty in last week’s Divisional Round tilt.
In the third quarter of Saturday’s playoff game, Patrick Mahomes managed to draw a game-changing unnecessary roughness penalty on what looked like a clean and routine tackle attempt by To’oTo’o.
The penalty call sparked plenty of outrage across the league, with ESPN analyst Troy Aikman openly expressing his disgust on the microphone. And judging by this new viral video clip, it seems like even Mahomes himself thought it shouldn’t have been a penalty.
In the clip below, Mahomes can be heard telling Henry To’oTo’o, “Good hit, boy” after they made contact. And yet, the officials still penalized Houston’s passer for unnecessary roughness:
The penalty call led to a Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass to Travis Kelce that helped the Chiefs extend their lead to eight points. The Texans would never score on offense again, with Kansas City giving up a safety in the waning seconds to close out a 23-14 victory.
Multiple Texans players and even head coach DeMeco Ryans ripped on the officiating after the game. Star edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. even said “We knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game,” per ESPN’s D.J. Bien-Aime.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Look To Keep Three-Peat Dream Alive
No team in NFL history has won three straight Super Bowls. Among the four major North American professional sports leagues, the 2000-02 Los Angeles Lakers are the last team to have pulled off a successful three-peat.
Now, Mahomes and company are just three victories away from history while perhaps cementing themselves as the greatest NFL dynasty ever.
