Patrick Mahomes continues to benefit from calls or non-calls.
At one point during the game against the Houston Texans in the divisional round against the Texans, Mahomes could be seen celebrating on the field.
Usually, that is not a big story, but the type of celebration he did was noticeable.
Patrick Mahomes held his hand up like a gun, which should’ve gotten a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. That is normally a 15-yard penalty.
Everybody else gets a 15 yard penalty for this . no gun signals allowed …but for patty is a ok lol #NFL https://t.co/fz19VdpGkT

One concern the league has previously had is that the celebrations will trickle down in college and high school sports, which it has done.
