The Chiefs Signal Caller was not amused because he seemed somewhat surprised before he refused to take the bait.
“That is hilarious,” Mahomes said with a deadpan look, shook his head unbelieving.
'No, all referees are great. All referees are great. They do the best they can go outside and play the game in the right way. '
But the reporter did not admit. He also tried to get an increase in the triple Super Bowl winner by shocking him and asking him if he had ever sent a Christmas card to a civil servant.
But Mahomes, refused to be exchange, remained compiled and again offered a perfect answer while he joked: 'Not that I can remember. I will talk to some of my teammates to find out. '
While Mahomes navigated the daring line of questions well, NFL fans on social media were furious on his behalf.
'Almost a garbage bag that, in my opinion of the reporter, the chiefs have the advantage of controversial calls over the years, yes they have but the other teams must ensure that they crush them on the field, so there Is no doubt, “One user of social media has been touched.
Another one struck: 'This is just classless by that reporter. Hey Guy, it's not an open microphone at the Comedy Club !! '

“Welp, those reporters about to lose his job,” a third joked.

“He uses that it could have been pretty much worse,” another said when a third was echoing, “Rather funny, but he treated it well.”
Earlier in the day, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was placed on the spot on the 'decorated' conspiracies.
“This reminds me a bit of the script – that I write a script for the entire season, right?” He started.
'Many of those theories that are things that happen on social media and they get a lot of life. I think it reflects a lot of the passion of the fans. And it is also a reminder for us how important is agency. I think the men and women who officially officize in the NFL are excellent. They have the highest possible standards. '
“That's a ridiculous theory – for anyone who could take it seriously,” he went on. “But at the end of the day it is something we always have to continue to work on: how do we make ourselves better?”

Goodell was further questioned about the officer standards of the competition, because he was asked how the NFL ensures that there is no bias during decisions on the field.
'I can't tell you all the things that happen behind it [the scenes]But our officials are evaluated in different ways, “said Goodell. '
'It's not only the things that go on the field, but also things that take place in their own lives. We have very clean checks about this and follow it very closely in different ways.
“These officials are excellent people. It's a tough job. A very tough job. Half of the group sees it one way and half of the group see it the other way. But I have never committed a group of people to get it right than our NFL officials. '
