Patrick Mahomes was furious with Kadarius Toney after he the Chiefs' wide receiver dropped a crucial pass that led to an interception during the team's win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. The incident comes after Toney infamously surrendered a late-game offsides penalty in their 20–17 loss to the Bills in Week 14 that cost them the win. Mahomes was notably irritated with the officials after that game.
With 9:20 to play in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, Toney dropped a wide-open pass and popped the ball up into the air where it was easily intercepted by a Patriots defender. At the time, Kansas City held a 27–10 lead. The game finished with the Chiefs winning 27-17.

Earlier in the weekend, the NFL fined Mahomes $50,000 and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid $100,000 for their complaints about officiating following Toney's previous offsides mistake. Reid had labeled the call "a bit embarrassing," while Mahomes described it as " elementary school" level. Check out the clip of Mahomes visibly upset with Toney on the sideline below.
