KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said the outcome of Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills was tough to swallow.
GAME REPORT | By Kadarius Toney’s toe, Chiefs snatch defeat from jaws of victory vs. Bills
Mahomes was visibly upset at the end of the game after the Chiefs turned the ball over on downs inside two minutes.
At issue was a touchdown on a lateral from TE Travis Kelce to WR Kadarius Toney that was erased on an offensive offsides call against Toney.
“They are human men, they make mistakes, but every week we’re talking about something,’ Mahomes said to reporters. “All I can do is give everything I have and I’m proud of the guys and for another football game to end like that is just tough to swallow.”
The scenario came a week after Chiefs felt they were on the short-end of another referee decision late in the game on a pass in which pass interference wasn't called in a loss against the Green Bay Packers.
“You don’t want to be talking about this stuff after the game,” Mahomes said.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid also addressed the offsides call.
"It was a heck of a football game down to the end," Reid said. "Very disappointed that it ended the way it did."
Reid said he normally gets a warning before such a penalty.
"If it's even close, you get a warning," Reid said. "The head coach gets a warning, I mean that normally, I don't know, I didn't have a protractor out there. But it's a bit embarrassing."
