NFL makes final punishment decision on ‘violent’ Patrick Mahomes gesture after his act was spotted on CBS broadcast

After being seen making a “violent gesture” during a CBS broadcast, Patrick Mason has been disciplined.

Following the Chiefs’ loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the NFL found that the top quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs had imitated a gun with his fingers, resulting in a large punishment.

In the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ 30-21 loss at Bills Stadium, Mahomes threw a score to tight end Noah Gray and celebrated by gesturing with both hands.

Josh Allen responded with a late touchdown of his own to give the Bills the win and give the Chiefs their first loss of the season.

And Mahomes has now been hit with a $14,069 fine for his celebration, making that loss not the only setback of the day.

Mahomes was issued an unsportsmanlike penalty by the NFL after they determined that he had made a “violent gesture” during his celebration.

Mahomes is the most recent player to face harsher penalties as the NFL has been cracking down on gun-mimicking celebrations this season.

Supporters have differing opinions about the situation; some believe the 29-year-old has received too much punishment, while others want the three-time Super Bowl MVP to face even harsher penalties.

One person wrote: “In the United States, it is lawful to possess firearms, yet we are not allowed to make basic gestures. What a farce.

Another person wrote, “He’s actually pointing? This is becoming pitiful.

A third begged: “Just under $15k? It ought to have been $1.5 million.

A fourth person wrote: “Suspend him. This has no place in a game that kids watch.

This season, players have also voiced their opinions about the severe penalties meted out by the authorities.

Earlier in the season, Mahomes’ brother Jason and Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce made their emotions known on their podcast, New Heights.

Travis Kelce remarked, “I know we don’t want this to be like, ‘Oh, NFL players shooting guns,'” following the disqualification of New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard for using finger guns against the Denver Broncos in September.

“I get that. However, this is really subtle. It shouldn’t be a flag unless you’re, like, doing it at a defender.

“If you want to fine the guy after the game for doing it, whatever, that’s up to the NFL for wanting to protect their league.”

“I just think it’s too much, man,” he added. It’s excessive and negatively impacting the game.

“I understand that the man must follow the rules and such. I don’t want my words to get me in trouble with the NFL. However, I just believe that this goes too far.
