Another non-call also sparked pushback against the Chiefs and some calls for Mahomes to be punished. The Chiefs were driving into the red zone in the fourth quarter when Mahomes scrambled toward the sidelines and took a hit -- while still inbounds -- and appeared to flop as he fell to the ground.

It is no secret that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has faced issues with his ankle in the latter half of the regular season. This week, Mahomes was listed on the Chiefs’ injury report ahead of Kansas City’s divisional-round playoff matchup against the Houston Texans.

There isn’t officially a flopping penalty in the NFL rulebook. However, penalties for flops have been called before under the definition of unsportsmanlike conduct.
