NFL fans have finally figured out what Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was saying on the sideline after an interception late in last Sunday's victory over the Patriots.
Mahomes’s had a frustrated outburst after his perfect pass went right off the hands of embattled wide receiver Kadarius Toney and landed in the hands of Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai. While the result of the game wasn’t in much question at the time with the Chiefs holding a 17-point lead, Mahomes was still furious, causing fans to wonder if he was taking out pent-up frustration with Toney, who has made several key mistakes in big moments this season.

Now, thanks to baseball media personality Jomboy, we have a lip-reading of Mahomes’ sideline explosion.
“I just don’t f---ing get it, man!” Mahomes appears to yell.
The other potential lip-reading proposed by Jomboy is “I just f—-ing said it, man”, potentially alluding to wanting ball security in late-game situations.
Here’s the hilarious full breakdown, with some bad language in the video:

We may never know exactly what Mahomes said, but he clearly wasn’t happy. And who can blame him, with Toney creating another negative play just one week after he lined up offsides to void what could have been a game-winning touchdown.
The good news is that this time, Toney’s whiff didn’t cost Kansas City the game. The Chiefs did give up a touchdown on that short field, but still cruised to a two-score victory over lowly New England.
