Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took solace in the blatantly missed pass interference call toward the end of the team’s loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Mahomes told reporters he would rather have NFL officials let players jostle for position all night then throw a penalty flag every time they bump into each other.
“It is what it is, man. Obviously, the guy was probably a little early, but at the end of the game they’re letting guys play, Mahomes said. “I’m kind of about that. I’d rather you let the guys play and let the guys win it on the field. It’s a hard job man. When we’re in that situation, I can’t be wanting a flag. I have to go out there and win the game myself and with the rest of my teammates.”
