The Chiefs took care of business against the Colts on Sunday, notching a pivotal win that greatly improves their playoff chances in the uber-competitive AFC and moves them up to 6-5 on the year.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes, who was on the verge of making undesirable history by potentially losing three games in a row for the first time in his career, was able to get the Chiefs’ offense back on track after digging themselves into an early deficit. Mahomes finished without a touchdown and recorded an ugly interception<\/a> to start the game, but he got some help from Kansas City’s stout defense to ultimately clinch the 23-20 comeback victory in overtime.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say Mahomes escaped the relentless scrutiny of NFL fans, though.<\/p>\n

On one play in the third quarter with the Chiefs down 17-9, Mahomes was trying to find one of his receivers downfield but couldn’t connect on the deep ball. Afterward, he was seen pleading with the refs for a flag, believing that a Colts defender had pulled on his facemask during the play:<\/p>\n

A replay video shows Colts defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebawore reaching out with his hand and grazing Mahomes’s helmet, but it didn’t look like Adebawore really got a solid grip on the facemask:<\/p>\n

Many NFL fans didn’t appreciate seeing Mahomes whine to the game’s officials, given the quarterback’s notorious history of seemingly getting a friendlier whistle throughout his NFL career. Earlier in the game, Mahomes benefitted from an arguably soft roughing the passer call<\/a> that gave the Chiefs a free first down against the Colts.<\/p>\n
