Patrick Mahomes has finally been caught.

During Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was caught on a hit mic asking a ref seemingly asking them to help them with a defender on the Broncos.

It doesn’t get more blatant than that.

Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to win their third consecutive Super Bowl, a feat that has never been accomplished in the league’s history.

They currently have an impressive 8-0 start and total control of the AFC West

What Patrick Mahomes Said Won’t Help The Narrative That The Chiefs Get Favorable Calls

Fans who think the Kansas City Chiefs get preferential treatment from NFL officials are now being shown that they are not crazy for thinking so after Patrick Mahomes was caught on camera asking a ref to help him.

Officials have constantly missed calls on them or called penalties on opposing teams to greatly help them.

In an interview on the Up & Adams Show, Rob Gronkowski claimed that the Kansas City Chiefs receive more favorable referee calls compared to his time with the New England Patriots.

Mahomes has had the most interceptions called back since 2018, with 17 since 2018 called back to penalties.

The Chiefs have also won 15 games with fewer penalties than their opponents since the 2022 season.

Social Media Had Priceless Reactions To New Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins Comparing Himself & Patrick Mahomes To Randy Moss & Tom Brady In Since-Deleted Tweet

New Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins sent social media into a frenzy by comparing himself and Patrick Mahomes to the legendary Tom Brady-Randy Moss tandem on social media.

DeAndre Hopkins enjoyed his breakout game as a Kansas City Chief in Monday night’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, racking up eight receptions for 86 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-24 overtime victory.

Two weeks ago, Kansas City acquired the perennial Pro Bowler from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a mid-round pick. And it took just two games for “Nuk” to form superstar chemistry with Mahomes.

On Tuesday afternoon, DeAndre Hopkins took to X/Twitter to share a photo of Moss and Brady from their time together in New England. Presumably, Hopkins was comparing himself and Mahomes to the two Patriots icons.

The post has since been deleted by DHop, but not before everyone got to see it.

 

As you would have guessed, social media had mixed reactions to DeAndre Hopkins’ post. Here are some of the best ones:

Moss came over to the Patriots in a 2007 trade with the Oakland Raiders. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Brady set the single-season record for touchdown passes (2007), though Peyton Manning broke that feat in 2013 (55). Moss recorded 23 touchdown receptions, also a single-season record. The Patriots went 16-0 in the regular season and reached Super Bowl 42, but their bid for a perfect season ended at the hands of the New York Giants.

DeAndre Hopkins obviously won’t come close to putting up 2007 Moss-like numbers. But if he continues to perform in Kansas City like he did last year, Andy Reid and company will have every reason to re-sign the pending free agent.

DeAndre Hopkins Makes The Chiefs Even More Dangerous In Three-Peat Bid

Monday night was unquestionably the Chiefs’ best offensive performance of the season. The passing game struggled with consistency after losing Rashee Rice for the year with a knee injury, but the unit got back on track with Hopkins’ tremendous outing.

And if he keeps this up, the Chiefs will be that much harder to stop in their three-peat bid.
