Kansas City Chiefs’ Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes Fined for Criticizing Game Officials
In a surprising development, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has been fined $150,000, and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been fined $50,000 for publicly criticizing game officials, according to a source close to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The fines come after both Reid and Mahomes voiced their frustration with officiating decisions following a recent game. The NFL strictly enforces its rules regarding public criticism of officials, and the league wasted no time in penalizing two of its most prominent figures.
Reid, known for his leadership and success with the Chiefs, and Mahomes, a two-time MVP, have generally avoided controversy in the past, making this situation all the more noteworthy. As the Chiefs continue their season, these fines serve as a reminder of the league’s stance on maintaining respect for its officials.
