the NFL for his actions at the end of the Chiefs’ 20-17 loss to the Bills on Dec. 10 and his postgame comments.

TV cameras also caught Mahomes expressing his frustration to Allen as the two embraced following the ending of the game which the Bills won 20-17.
But on Monday, the 28-year-old Mahomes said his actions weren’t a good example for those watching.
“I mean, obviously, you don’t want to react that way. I mean, I care, man. I love it. I love this game, I love my teammates, and 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 towards officials, or really anybody in life,” Mahomes said in an interview “Regardless if we win or lose, just the end of another game and we’re talking about the refs. It’s just not what we want for the NFL and for football.”
However, in Monday’s interview, Mahomes acknowledged the offsides penalty on Toney was correct after he watched replays in the days following the game.
“It was a big play in the game. Obviously, it got negated because of a foul. I didn’t have a great explanation for it, obviously I’m not seeing the view from the sideline or anything like that,” Mahomes said. “I didn’t even really know – I heard the call, from where I was you couldn’t really tell what really happened, and I was trying to get an explanation and didn’t really get one.
“Obviously, I’ve seen it now, and if he didn’t check and they weren’t good, it is a foul. 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.”
