An apparent argument between Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was caught just before the Chiefs and Colts went to halftime.
After video of Mahomes and Bieniemy surfaced on Twitter, there was speculation that Mahomes wasn’t happy with the play calls entering halftime.
After the game, the Chiefs QB explained his side:
“I wanted to go try to score,” Mahomes said. “That’s just who I am. We were in a tough situation. I believe it was second- or third-and-20, something like that, and probably the smart decision was to go to halftime. But I’m always going to want to score. I pretty much just said, ‘Let me have a chance at it,’ and he was just like, ‘Let’s get to the locker room and get to the next half.’
“I don’t know if that’s an altercation. That was the end of the conversation.”
