Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs suffered just their third loss of the season as they lost once again to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. With the game having end-to-end drama, the antics have continued even after the clock timed out.
Talking about one of the most spoken about incident from the Bengals vs Chiefs game – at one point in the first half Bengals had more than 11 players on the field. However, when the cameraman turned the attention towards Jessie Bates III, he was seen falling out on the ground out of nowhere.
While many thought that the injury to Bates III could be a serious one, given that there was absolutely no contact what so ever, he was quickly seen standing in the huddle and making his way back to the field.
On one hand where Chiefs’ fans could not help but point various occasions where the momentum was taken away from them, Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, took to Twitter to voice her thoughts.
That wasn’t about it – even former Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz took a hard stance against faking injuries in games. Specially ones which are as big as Bengals vs Chiefs.
“They should start fining guys and teams when they see on film how obviously fake the injury is. Also, I know Bates is the one wearing the headpiece, so he hears the instructions but maybe you don’t want your top guy to be the one ‘hurt,’” Schwartz said on Twitter.
