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.
The final score read Edmonton Oilers 6 – Winnipeg Jets 2, but the real explosion came off the ice. Moments after the loss, Jets head coach Scott Arniel stormed into the press room and unleashed a tirade that instantly went viral. “Let’s not kid ourselves,” Arniel began, voice tight with anger. “Edmonton didn’t win because they outplayed us — they won because they can buy whatever they need. They buy talent, they buy advantages… hell, tonight it looked like they even bought the officiating. This isn’t hockey anymore. It’s a financial arms race, and we’re out here fighting with heart while others throw money at problems.” The room fell dead silent. Cameras froze. Reporters stared as if they’d misheard him. Even rival coaches watching at home reportedly texted each other: “Did he just accuse them of THAT?” But minutes later, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch delivered one of the coldest responses the league has ever seen… READ MORE⤵️
🚨 GLOBAL BOYCOTT ERUPTS: Countries around the world are now REFUSING to work with the US under Trump’s leadership! 🌍💥🇺🇸 In a stunning global revolt, nations across Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America are openly rejecting US products, deals, and diplomacy—a global boycott unlike anything ever seen in the country’s history.

Wake up, Jeff.” — Governor Gavin Newsom abruptly announced that he would remove all of his media content and partnerships from Amazon, denouncing the relationship between Jeff Bezos and Don@ld T.r.u.m.p. The statement quickly became an ultimatum that stunned both Bezos and the public. “You Trump supporters, you support division and hate. I cannot be a part of that,” Newsom declared in an official post on his personal page. Bezos, taken aback by this uncompromising decision, had no time to react — he could only remain silent in shock. Soon after, Donald Trump fired back fiercely on Truth Social, calling Newsom “an arrogant, attention-seeking politician.” But Gavin Newsom was undeterred. He responded with eight short, cold, and powerful words — words that silenced Trump, and sent social media into a frenzy of support. 💬 Comments went viral on X (old Twitter): “This is the first time anyone has spoken directly to Bezos and Trump like this.” “Newsom just turned Bezos’ silence into a moral judgment.” Meanwhile, political observers said it was a “bold but symbolic move” that marked a deep divide between politics and Big Tech. An editor at The Atlantic wrote: “Newsom understands that this is about more than just business — it’s about the soul of America.” At the same time, a wave of #BoycottAmazon calls spread on social media, with hundreds of thousands of people retweeting Newsom’s remarks, with the message: “If he can stand up, so can we.” While many saw it as a political gamble, there’s no denying one thing: Gavin Newsom has created a seismic shift in the relationship between political power and tech power. And by nightfall, his short tweet had been shared millions of times — a reminder that in today’s noisy world, sometimes just eight words can change everything……⤵️
