The Indianapolis Colts crushed the undefeated champions, Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The 20-17 loss against the Colts was a day of penalties and mistakes. They scored the sixth lowest point against the Colts. Chiefs’ defensive effort held Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense to two touchdowns and one field goal. But what was a heartbreaking defeat for some fans, turned into a mock fest for the famed NFL analyst, Skip Bayless. The 70-year-old made some burning comments about the four-time Pro-Bowl’s abilities as a quarterback.

Skip Bayless, Co-host of the show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, is a staunch appreciator of Tom Brady. But, it seems that he is not too fond of the Kansas City Chiefs’ lead QB, Patrick Mahomes.

Bayless went on Twitter to write: “THREW A LATE CARELESS INTERCEPTION OFF POOR FOOTWORK AS THE CHIEFS WERE UPSET AT INDY???…”

The quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs managed 20 completions on 35 attempts for 262 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a passer rating of 78.5. Mahomes’ completion rate and passer rating were both among the lowest of his career, ranking 10th and 11th, respectively. Since it is the lowest of his career, how could Bayless stay away from giving his opinion?
