Patriots player’s social-media post insinuates officials favor Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes
There were just seven penalties Sunday during the Chiefs’ 27-17 victory over the New England Patriots, and one proved beneficial to Kansas City.
After the game, none of the Patriots players who took part in the game were talking about the officials, according to postgame transcripts from New England.
However, Patriots defensive end Matthew Judon shared a social-media post that indicated he believes that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has game officials on his side.
A person on X (formerly Twitter) shared a photoshopped picture of Mahomes and an NFL game official kissing. Judon reposted that picture and wrote: “I see no lies.”
Judon’s post quickly went viral.
Judon, who appeared in four games this season before having surgery to repair torn biceps, also wrote during the game: “Boy they cheating for these (guys).”
That led to the response with the photoshopped picture that Judon shared.
