A new camera angle shows Patrick Mahomes getting away with a clear-as-day unsportsmanlike penalty during the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u2019 Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n Patrick Mahomes had a\u00a0strong outing<\/a>\u00a0against a stingy New Orleans defense, completing 28 pass attempts for 331 yards to lead the Chiefs to a 26-13 victory. Kansas City has reached its first 5-0 start since 2018, when Mahomes took over as the Chiefs\u2019 quarterback.<\/p>\n Mahomes and the Chiefs were the better team from start to finish on both sides of the ball, no doubt. But the three-time Super Bowl champion was also the beneficiary of an awful missed call by the\u00a0NFL refs<\/a>, who have been under enough scrutiny as is to begin the season.<\/p>\n The\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0is cracking down on players who use bow-and-arrow and other weapon-related gestures as celebrations. If a player commits such an act, they\u2019ll be hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty.<\/p>\n Well, Patrick Mahomes did exactly that after a first-down run last night, and the officials missed what could have been a potential game-changing call:<\/p>\n Is this allowed? Patrick Mahomes – pointing first down or ready to shoot? So many looking like this! #SNF<\/a> #Confusing<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NBMXcfqkWG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Connie Carberg (@ConnieScouts) October 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
