And then, after the game, instead of congratulating Josh Allen, when he approached Allen he continued his profane tirade about the officials. And the official who had made the call had been correct in the penalty.

It was game where Mahomes threw a dramatic late TD that involved Kelce catching the pass and flipping it to another player who took it into the end zone. The refs called an offensive player offsides on the play, and Mahomes felt the official should have either warned the player to move back or kept the flag in his pocket. Yes, it had nullified an exciting play. But it's not as if officials never nullified an exciting and consequential play with a flag.

Such an entitled response.

Only the Bengals stopped them?  That is remarkable.  Always drafting very late and yet consistently in the Super Bowl. Honestly, I feel lucky to be a fan who has been able to watch both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. Just consistent excellence when it comes to the games that count. 

The Chiefs probably got a break with the spotting of a fourth-down try by Buffalo but it was close and the Chiefs somehow stopped that tush push a number of times in the game, including twice on two-point conversions. 

I feel no disappointment about Mahomes and Andy Reid going to yet another Super Bowl. Mahomes is a nice guy (and note his first words were to give praise to God) and the Chiefs have a very well-run organization. I wish the Bengals could emulate them.
