The Kansas City Chiefs offensive line has struggled to keep quarterback Patrick Mahomes upright this season, and the reigning Super Bowl MVP is starting to get a bit fed up with his less-than-stellar protection.
After a long touchdown gave the Las Vegas Raiders the lead on Friday night, Mahomes drove the Chiefs’ offense into the Raiders’ red zone.
In desperate need of a touchdown, Kansas City seemed to be on the brink of taking a lead over Las Vegas, but a brutal third-down sack by Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby made the Chiefs settle for three points.
Mahomes was “demonstrably upset” after the play, according to a tweet by veteran sports columnist Vahe Gregorian of the Kansas City Star.
Take a look at the sack to see why Mahomes was so frustrated:

Expect the Chiefs’ coaching staff to take a hard look at its offensive line as Kansas City pushes toward the playoffs.
