The NFL fined Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Saturday for their critical comments on the officiating at the end of last Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Reid received a $100,000 fine for publicly criticizing the officials, while Mahomes’ $50,000 fine was due to unsportsmanlike conduct for abusive, threatening or insulting language to officials, plus publicly criticizing the referees, per Rapoport.
Officials ruled that Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney was offsides on a potential game-winning touchdown with fewer than 90 seconds remaining in the game and Kansas City trailing the Bills, 20-17. The Chiefs failed to advance the ball on the following three plays, leading to a Bills win.
