Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes knows the team got away with a massive victory due to a single toe.
The 2024 season began with a photo-finish victory for the Kansas City Chiefs as Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely came down with a toe out of bounds at the back of the end zone just as time expired.
“Definitely nerve-wracking because it looked good from my angle on the sideline,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes admitted during his postgame press conference. “But then the first [instant replay] view you saw, you could see the cleat.”
Mahomes also called the Ravens a “great football team” that he expects to see again in the playoffs.
He then offered some advice to Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely on his failed tow touchdown.
“He’s gotta wear white cleats next time,” Patrick Mahomes said. “That’s my advice for him.”
Lamar Jackson found Likely for a last-second touchdown catch that would have given the Ravens a chance to tie or win the game, but a single toe caused them to start the year 0-1 and fail to avenge their loss from the AFC Championship game.
Despite what picture and video evidence said, Ravens players weren’t totally convinced that the call should have been overturned.
Linebacker Roquan Smith told reporters that he thought there wasn’t enough evidence to overturn it after it was initially called a touchdown, while Jackson agreed, saying, “I still think it was a touchdown.”
Patrick Mahomes Wasted No Time Utilizing His Star Rookie WR
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 291 yards with a touchdown and an interception, making just enough plays to outlast Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game, per his stats on ESPN.
Mahomes certainly has life much easier for him as he made sure to utilize star rookie wideout Xavier Worthy.
The Kansas City rookie first-round pick caught a 35-yard touchdown and ran for a 21-yard score in his first-ever game.
Social Media Is Pissed Off After Skip Bayless Claims LeBron James Shouldn’t Have Won MVP Over Stephen Curry

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.
After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.
“I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.
Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
