After Getting Roasted By Announcers And NFL Fans, Patrick Mahomes Commented On His Botched Spike

by

The most notable takeaway from the Chiefs vs Bills game is undeniably the Chiefs’ victory, which marks their third straight Super Bowl appearance. However, there are other intriguing aspects to this game that have fans talking. For one, controversy continues to swirl around some contentious referee decisions, and secondly, football enthusiasts can’t seem to get enough of Taylor Swift’s presence. Lastly, for the first time, the worst touchdown spike celebration in football history has sparked a lot of debate among spectators.

Patrick Mahomes, unfortunately, couldn’t catch that last pass, as he tried to mimic Gronk’s Spike move but instead, lost grip of the ball, causing him to miss the ground. The mishap was heavily criticized on commentary and social media, prompting him to humorously issue an apology afterward.

In the discussed game, the significant event unfolded towards the beginning of the fourth quarter. At this point, the Kansas City Chiefs trailed by just one point, and they were given first and goal from approximately 10 yards away. In an unexpected move, Mahomes decided to run the ball himself, plowing through defenders with determination for the last few crucial yards. His excitement after scoring a touchdown was so intense that he attempted to forcefully spike the ball, but it slipped out of his hands as he came down, rolling forward like an unsteady duck. Here is his account of the situation:

I also apologize. That is why i dont try to spike the ball.

It’s likely that many home viewers shared my initial response. Initially, everyone seemed to be fixated on the key play and its importance in the game. The spike was merely a side event until things took an unexpected turn, causing a momentary double-take with the thought “could that really have just happened?“. Thankfully, commentator Jim Nantz confirmed our suspicions when he quickly labeled it as Mahomes’ “least effective throw of the night”.

As a movie buff, I can’t help but feel that the witty banter from last night’s game is destined to become legendary. It’s stuck in my head like an unshakable plot twist, and I can see it being replayed again and again in future highlights.

Talking head Mike Golic Jr. deemed a particular touchdown spike as the “worst in NFL history,” and Coley, a former Barstool personality, didn’t hold back in roasting him for his fumble. Even Rob Friedman, the pitching analyst, joined in on the fun with a humorous tail graphic to track the path of the mishap. Check out this chaos below…

Thankfully for Mahomes, he’s got another Super Bowl on the horizon, this time with his consistent partner Travis Kelce by his side. This will be his fifth appearance and gives his team an opportunity to become the first in NFL history to win three consecutive championship games. If they manage to pull it off, Mahomes would undoubtedly be part of the discussion for the greatest quarterbacks of all time, despite his throwing skills possibly needing some refinement.
