Patrick Mahomes Crushed By NFL Fans for Brutal Flop in Chiefs' Win Over Texans

Many thought this was an embarrassing move by Kansas City's quarterback.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were able to beat the Houston Texans, 23-14, on Saturday to advance to the AFC championship game for a seventh straight year. They'll host the winner of Sunday night's Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills showdown next week at Arrowhead Stadium.

The win didn't come without some controversial moments, as Mahomes benefited from a questionable roughing call in the first the quarter and then drew an even more egregious one in third quarter.

The Chiefs quarterback tried to draw a third questionable call in the fourth quarter when he took an apparent dive after being pushed along the sideline. The officials, however, didn't bite on it.

More from Aikman.

"He's trying to draw the penalty. Rather than just run out of bounds, he slows down. And that's been the frustration and I get it. I understand it. That's been the frustration for these defensive players around the league." https://t.co/rzfAXSaz6o pic.twitter.com/LilHhaI2Bh

This is such a lame way to play man. https://t.co/dewwxlEruk

Should be a 15 yd penalty for diving https://t.co/5n5OZcrscp

This is why people hate Mahomes and the Chiefs. NOT because they are good. https://t.co/9TsC29HxJc

Good for Aikman calling him out https://t.co/ulcmEVO8w8

Mahomes ended the game completing 16 of 25 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown—and putting together yet another playoff win.
