🏈 BREAKING: Coach Andy Reid Calls It “A Crime Against Football” After Patrick Mahomes Gets Knocked Out

Kansas City, Kansas City, today — The NFL is in an uproar after Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid publicly criticized the foul that Patrick Mahomes received in the latest game. Reid’s comments were seen as a “break of silence” after days of the Chiefs keeping a low profile in front of the media.

🗣️ “A crime against football!”

During his post-game press conference, Andy Reid couldn’t hide his anger when talking about the collision that caused Mahomes to fall to the ground and had to leave the game temporarily to be examined for an injury. His voice trembled with anger as he asserted:

“It’s a crime against the game of football. It’s unacceptable that the star player of the league is treated like that and the referees don’t look the other way!”

According to Reid, the defensive player’s actions — which were said to be a push after a punt — “crossed the line of sportsmanship” and “threatened the safety of the player.” The veteran Chiefs coach called on the NFL to review its rules to protect quarterbacks from such rough contact.

⚡ Mahomes – a symbol of courage

Patrick Mahomes, the brightest star of the Kansas City Chiefs, still tried to finish the rest of the game despite being clearly affected by the hard fall. The image of him limping off the field with tens of thousands of spectators cheering moved many people.

“He’s a real warrior,” Reid said. “Mahomes never gives up, not for a second. But I can’t sit back and watch my players get treated like that.”

💬 The NFL community reacts strongly

Immediately after Reid’s statement, social networks X (Twitter) and Instagram exploded. Thousands of fans expressed support for Mahomes, and at the same time asked the NFL to open an investigation into the way the game was handled.

A number of famous former players, including J.J. Watt and Richard Sherman, also spoke up:

“If a star like Mahomes can’t be protected, who can?” — Sherman wrote.

“Reid is right. This is football, not a battlefield,” — Watt commented.

⚙️ NFL under pressure

The NFL has yet to officially respond, but multiple inside sources say the disciplinary committee is reviewing video of the controversial collision to determine whether there was a serious violation.

Experts say Reid’s strong reaction is a sign of growing tension between coaches and referees, especially as many teams complain about inconsistent decisions on handling collisions.

🏆 Chiefs and the journey to defend the title

Despite the controversy, the Kansas City Chiefs are still high in the AFC rankings. However, the future of Mahomes — who is considered the “heart and soul” of the team — has fans worried.

Inside sources reveal that Mahomes has undergone medical tests and is not seriously injured, but he may be held out for a game to fully recover.

Andy Reid ended the press conference with a touching message:

“I love this game, and I love my players. But if rugby loses its fairness, then we are betraying the spirit of the sport itself.”
