Patrick Mahomes Explains What Happened With OC Eric Bieniemy

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.

“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.
