Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid might be getting a call from the league office this week.
On Sunday, Mahomes lost his mind on the sideline and berated a ref after Kadarius Toney was called for an offensive offsides penalty on a crucial play in the fourth quarter.

After the game, both Mahomes and Reid ripped the ref for not giving them a warning about Toney being offsides.
“Normally I get a warning before something like that happens in a big game. A bit embarrassing in the NFL for that to take place” said Reid while speaking to the media.
“I mean they’re human, they make mistakes, but it’s every week we’re talking about something.” said Mahomes during his postgame press conference.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the NFL is reviewing the comments made by Reid and Mahomes about the officials.
#Chiefs coach Andy Reid called the officiating, "A bit embarrassing." QB Patrick Mahomes said of the refs, "Every week, we’re talking about something."
There is a long-standing policy against questioning the integrity of the refs. These will be reviewed, sources say.

Rapoport goes on to say that the league may take issue with Mahomes’ sideline outburst toward the ref.
While Patrick Mahomes' post-game comments will be reviewed, his on-field yelling aimed at the refs before the game ended and then on-field comments while cameras were rolling and present may be more of an issue. https://t.co/lLCInFjXU6
