Everybody who is not a fan of the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes is eating crow this week.
Those who believe the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback gets preferential treatment from NFL officials will not be happy with this next bit of information.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network got social media buzzing this week when he relayed league findings on Wednesday regarding the number of fouls quarterbacks drew per 100 hits during the 2024 season.
One look below shows you that Patrick Mahomes checked in at No. 8 at 3.53.

He is in the top ten, but he is certainly not number one, as fans have suggested over the past few years.
“Feels like this isn’t something easily quantifiable,” one fan said.
“Allen and Mahomes being top 10 and hurts being bottom 3 is interesting,” another fan added.
One person couldn’t believe Patrick Mahomes wasn’t higher, saying, “I love how they twist this. People want tackles holding and false starting called. Where’s your “got away with holding or false starting” chart?”

“We’ve investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong,” another person mocked.
One final person stated: “But but but I was told by espn that mahomes got all the calls 😭.”

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa led the list with 7.32 but the the league’s findings determined there was “no apparent link between QB status and treatment from Officiating.”

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his team always seem to get the best end of the stick when it comes to favorable calls.
AD
On Wednesday, the NFL released a study that appeared to find no correlation between a quarterback’s status and the number of favorable calls he received.
Mahomes came in 8th place.
Unfortunately for him, fans are sure of what they see during games and how a huge call or non-call effectively changes the outcome of a game in that they participate in.
