Talking about the altercation, Mahomes said there was nothing too serious about the conversation. “I wanted to go try to score. That’s just who I am. We were in a tough situation. I believe it was second- or third-and-20, something like that, and probably the smart decision was to go to halftime. But I’m always going to want to score.
