Mahomes regrets sideline outburst, postgame interaction with Allen

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said Monday he regrets his fiery outburst following the controversial end to Kansas City's loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

After an offsides penalty on Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney negated a go-ahead trick-play touchdown, an angry Mahomes yelled at officials and had to be restrained by teammates.

"Obviously, you don't want to react that way," Mahomes said on "The Drive" on 610 Sports Radio. "I care, man. I love it. I love this game, I love my teammates, I want to go out there and put everything on the line to win. But, obviously, can't do that. Can't be that way toward officials or, really, anybody in life."

Mahomes said he was most remorseful about lamenting the offside penalty during his postgame interaction with Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

"More than anything, I regret the way I acted toward Josh after the game because he had nothing to do with it," Mahomes said. "I was still hot and emotional, but you can't do that, man. It's not a great example for kids watching the game. I was more upset about that than I was about me on the sideline."

The two-time MVP quarterback and head coach Andy Reid both criticized the officials for the offside call. The NFL is reportedly reviewing their comments.

But Mahomes acknowledged the flag was correct after watching the game.

"Obviously, I've seen it now, and if he didn't check and they weren't good, it is a foul," Mahomes said. "It is something you rarely see called in the NFL. But it was a foul, it's part of playing the game, man. You learn from it, it's part of being a person, you learn from your mistakes and try to be better next time."

Reid confirmed Monday that Toney - who had the wiped-out score after catching a lateral pass from tight end Travis Kelce - failed to check with the referee whether he was aligned properly before the play.
