Three-time Super Bowl champion and current broadcaster Troy Aikman led the chorus of criticism against superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes for ‘flopping’ in the Kansas City Chiefs’ controversial victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday.

On Saturday it wasn't just disgruntled non-Chiefs fans sounding off. ESPN's Troy Aikman was not happy at all over an unnecessary roughness call on Patrick Mahomes that cost the Houston Texans 15 yards in an AFC divisional-round game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Patrick Mahomes got away with another one. During a first quarter drive in the Kansas City Chiefs’ divisional round matchup against the Houston Texans, it looked as though Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense had been forced into a three-and-out.

Troy Aikman had everybody agreeing with him after he stated the league needs to review how they QBs take hits.

The drive continued and Patrick Mahomes was falling to the turf as he threw a pass that ended in the hands of the great Travis Kelce for a touchdown. After the PAT, the Super Bowl champs led 20-12. Unbelievable.

The two made some minor contact at the end of the play, as a rushing defensive lineman and a quarterback are wont to do. However, the officials flagged Anderson for roughing the passer anyhow. This call was so bad that ESPN rules analyst Russell Yurk didn’t even agree with it.
