Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy shared a heated moment as the two walked off the field to the team’s locker room on Sunday as Kansas City held a 14–10 halftime lead against the Colts.
The Chiefs ended the first half with a six-yard run from Jerick McKinnon to run out the final 20 seconds of the second quarter. Shortly after, Mahomes was visibly upset. However, the four-time Pro Bowler told reporters Sunday the exchange between him and Bieniemy was not as big of a deal as it looked on television.
“I mean, at the end of the day, I wanted to go try to score,” Mahomes said, per Arrowhead Report. “That’s just who I am. We were in a tough situation, I believe it was second or third-and-20 … and probably the smart decision was to just take it [and know] we got the ball out of the half, let's just go into halftime.
