Patrick Mahomes tossed his helmet in frustration on Sunday after throwing an interception vs. the Patriots. The Chiefs star was picked off by Marte Mapu with 6:57 left in the second quarter on a pass intended for Blake Bell.
And Mahomes was clearly irritated with himself as he was captured throwing his helmet on the FOX broadcast. The Chiefs went into halftime with a 14-10 lead. In the second half, Mahomes was once again left frustrated when a pass intended for Kadarius Toney bounced off of the receiver’s hands and was intercepted by Jahlani Tavai. Nonetheless, Kansas City went on to win 27-17.

The angry moments came after Mahomes went berserk on a referee last Sunday night, after an offensive offsides call negated a late touchdown for the Chiefs in their loss to the Bills. After his last gasp attempt to extend the game fell incomplete, Mahomes was absolutely livid on the sideline.
He slammed down his helmet and appeared to yell at a referee, ‘We played our f****** a**** off and you call offensive offsides!’ ‘That’s f******g terrible!,’ he also said. He had to be held back by his teammates during the tense moment. Kansas City had lost four of six games heading into Sunday’s game in New England.
