Another week, another Patrick Mahomes tantrum following a Chiefs wide receiver blunder.
Fresh off his infamous offensive offside penalty against the Buffalo Bills last week, Kansas City wideout Kadarius Toney made another costly mistake in the 27-17 win against the Patriots on Sunday, much to the frustration of Mahomes.

With 9:20 left in the fourth quarter and the Chiefs up 27–10, Mahomes attempted to connect with Toney on a short pass across the middle.
The WR made a meal of the pass as it bobbled around before Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai came up with the interception.
Two plays later, Pats running back Kevin Harris ran the ball in for an 18-yard touchdown to cut Kansas City's lead to ten points.
After the interception, cameras panned to a visibly irate Mahomes who was throwing a strop on the sidelines.

Lip readers were having a field day as Mahomes seemingly yelled, "Are you f***ing s***ing me? God, damn it."
It was the second successive week that the Chiefs signal caller lost his cool during a game and fans had something to say about it.
"Mahomes is fed up with Toney and I don’t blame him," ESPN host Shannon Sharpe said on X.
Sharpe was critical of Toney's role in the fallout to the Chiefs' dramatic defeat to the Bills last week.

In his post-game reaction to the incident on his podcast 'Nightcap', Sharpe told Chad 'Ochocino' Johnson the Chiefs only had themselves to blame for the 20-17 defeat.
"It's like when someone steals a car... Instead of getting mad at the person who stole the car we get mad at the police for chasing him.
"If he lines up offside, how's the game in the official's hands? He put the game in the official's hands by his alignment.
"He robbed us of the play of the year. He robbed us of that, Ocho.
"Imagine Travis Kelce's highlights tape when he goes into the Hall of Fame, that's number one!
"That would've been the play of Travis Kelce's career and he robbed us of that!
"He did that, not the official, he did it!"
The Kansas QB was emotional after last week's loss to the Bills when officials called an offensive offside on Toney that wiped out a go-ahead touchdown after an incredible lateral pass by tight end Travis Kelce.
Although the Chiefs held on to beat the Patriots this week, the glaring receiver issues are mounting.

KC lead the league in dropped passes this season, with Toney having five all by himself.
Fortunately, Sunday's drop didn't cost Kansas City the win, but it's becoming a worrying trend that could massively cost the team in the playoffs.
"I know he misses the helllll outta Tyreek Hill," another fan wrote.
"This feels like Toney and Mahomes are at the near end of the thinking trust will continue," a third added.
"Mahomes has been patient long enough. The Chiefs failed to give him enough reliable playmakers. Expect that to be corrected this offseason," a fourth stated.

The errors are certainly starting to grate on Mahomes and Chiefs fans, the latter of whom seem to want Toney dropped before the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
However, despite Toney's late game blunder, the Chiefs still managed to win the game to move to 9-5 for the season heading into the AFC West showdown with the Raiders on Christmas.
