Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes fined over $14K for ‘violent gesture’ at Bills game

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined more than $14,000 for making a “violent gesture” during last Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

 

 

According to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero, Mahomes is facing a $14,069 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct after he celebrated a touchdown pass with a hand gesture that appeared to imitate him holding a gun.

The high-profile fine comes at the height of the NFL’s crackdown on these gestures.

Within the first six weeks of the season, at least five other stars faced the same penalties for the same types of celebrations, Sports Illustrated reported. All players were told their fine was also the result of unsportsmanlike conduct.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a statement back in October claiming that the NFL has maintained a long-standing policy against these gestures and that the penalties will continue to be issued.

“We don’t think it’s appropriate in those circumstances and sends the wrong messages,” Goodell said. “So, we’ll continue to do that.”

Even though the penalty comes off a disappointing loss against the Bills, this isn’t the worst fine Mahomes has received in his seven seasons with the Chiefs. Just last year, the Kansas City quarterback was fined $50,000 for “verbally abusing” an official after a Bills game.

Head coach Andy Reid was also penalized for the same game and fined $100,000 for publicly criticizing the officials’ rulings.

This most recent fine is just the nail in the coffin for the Chiefs, though. It lands in the wake of a once undefeated record now turned 9-1.

However, the Chiefs have the chance to redeem themselves at Sunday’s game against the 3-7 Carolina Panthers.

Recently, social media posts and popular online threads have claimed that an alleged victim associated with Jeffrey Epstein has come forward saying recordings exist of former U.S. President Donald Trump that would be so damaging they would force him to resign from office. These posts, including widely shared threads on Reddit, have circulated with high engagement and comments suggesting various theories about what such “tapes” might show — but they are unverified claims without confirmed sources or evidence from mainstream reporting or released legal documents. Official news reporting on the Epstein files — the vast trove of documents, photos, and videos recently being released by the U.S. Department of Justice — does confirm that the files contain references to Trump and his past relationship with Epstein, including emails and mentions in documents. However, the Justice Department itself has said that many sensationalist claims about Trump in these files are unfounded or unverified, and there has been no credible confirmation of explicit “tapes” of Trump that would compel resignation. Trump’s connections to Epstein during the 1990s and 2000s have been acknowledged in released correspondence, but nothing has been publicly verified that rises to the level of forcing a resignation. The discussions online about “tapes” are part of a broader mix of rumors, speculation, and politically charged narratives that frequently surface around both the Epstein case and Trump’s presidency. Without confirmation from respected news outlets or direct evidence from the released documents themselves, such claims should be treated as unverified and speculative, not established fact. As of now, major outlets continue reporting on the Epstein files with caution, distinguishing between documented content and unproven allegations circulating on forums and social platforms. #fblifestyle #EpsteinFiles #DonaldTrump

🚨 BREAKING: It wasn’t a heated ambush — it was a quiet correction that shifted the tone instantly. A former White House figure appeared visibly unsettled after a reporter fact-checked his statements in real time during a public exchange, turning what began as a routine moment into a tense spotlight on accuracy. Notably, the fact-check itself was measured and grounded in publicly available information. There were no raised voices at first, no dramatic accusations — just a direct request for clarification. But as the questioning continued, the official pushed back and attempted to pivot, a reaction observers say only intensified attention on the discrepancy unfolding live. This wasn’t merely an awkward exchange — it became a credibility test. In an era where claims can be verified instantly, real-time corrections carry weight. As clips circulate and debate builds online, many are watching closely to see how moments like this shape public trust — and whether similar confrontations will become more common. 👇
