Patrick Mahomes in an interview had a lot to say about the accusations from some sections of fans claiming he might have exaggerated his fall. “The most pain I had was stopping. So once he pushed me, it would have been hard to put my foot in the ground and try to stop”.

“So I rolled through it. You get over there with the heaters and the benches and people, that’s where a lot of times, people get hurt. I think that’s the reason why there’s a flag for getting pushed out of bounds like that late. I mean, I was pretty far out of bounds”.

“It was probably the furthest I’ve been out of bounds before I’ve been hit. So I rolled through it”. After Sunday’s last-second win, Patrick Mahomes has now guided 3 lead-changing (tied or took lead) drives in his playoff career that began with 1:00 or less on the clock.

He’s the only player in NFL history with more than 1.
