Chiefs coach Andy Reid was fined $100,000 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined $50,000 for criticizing officials following Kansas City’s 20-17 loss to Buffalo last week, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the fines weren’t announced.

Reid and Mahomes violated the NFL’s policy about public criticism of game officials for comments about an offside penalty that negated a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Andy Reid and Mahomes fined for criticizing refs. Even though it was the right call and Mahomes crying wasn't justified I find it kind of BS that you can't criticize the refs no matter what. To have rules specifically tailored around not allowing to speak against calls is pretty BS.

Agreed. Like is freedom of speech a thing or is this some nazi shit. Why is criticizing or speaking your mind about refs such a big deal.

same reason being disrespectful to a judge gets you in trouble. trying to undermine the integrity of an unbiased official will not be tolerated.

Hope everyone just saw the last play of the Giants/Saints game.

This thread is vindicated and the NFL loves Tommy Cutlets now

Worst unnecessary roughness call of the last few seasons on a 3rd and 22 to give the Giants 15 yards and a first down.

Flag was about 15 seconds after the play ended too rofl
