Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' emotions were on full display on the sidelines Thursday as the Dallas Cowboys took a fourth-quarter lead, potentially sealing the game. The star quarterback's visibly frustrated expression quickly went viral on social media. The Chiefs' disappointing performance on Thanksgiving Day sparked outrage among fans, who turned their anger towards head coach Andy Reid. With 3:45 left in the game, the Cowboys held a slim 31-21 lead. Mahomes attempted to keep Kansas City alive with a 43-yard strike to Xavier Worthy, but it was only seconds later that Hollywood Brown scored a 10-yard touchdown, giving the Cowboys a 31-28 lead. Throughout the game, Mahomes faced intense pressure, being sacked by Jadeveon Clowney in the fourth quarter and throwing an incomplete pass mere minutes before. Despite his best efforts, the Chiefs ultimately fell short. Reid's decision-making has come under fire, with fans criticizing his calls, particularly his punt strategy. One fan tweeted, "These are cowardly punts by Andy Reid. You have Mahomes at QB, not JJ McCarthy. Act like it." Another fan added, "Andy Reid's retirement will be a special day.
