After an obvious dramatic landing — which included a mid-play lateral from Travis Kelce to Kadarius Toney — was taken off the board when officers judged Toney offsides close to the tip of final week’s sport between the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and the Buffalo Payments, each head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes aired their frustrations.
Now the duo has been fined by the league for his or her criticism of the officers, and the fines are fairly steep. As reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Reid has been fined $100,000 for “violating long-standing league guidelines prohibiting public criticism of sport officers.”
Mahomes was fined $50,000 for “unsportsmanlike conduct” throughout his sideline tirade, in addition to his post-game feedback, which fell beneath the identical “public criticism” class as Reid’s feedback.
In his post-game press convention, Reid referred to the incident as “embarrassing,” and outlined that gamers sometimes get a warning when they’re aligned offsides. As for Mahomes, not solely did he blast the decision in its instant aftermath, however that continued throughout his post-game handshake with Josh Allen, and later in his feedback to the media.
Each Reid and Mahomes walked again their criticism all through the week, however apparently, that was not sufficient for the league.
