‘Softest Call in NFL History as Fans Erupt Over Patrick Mahomes Roughing Penalty as Troy Aikman Slams the League

Softest Call in NFL History!’ Fans Erupt Over Patrick Mahomes Roughing Penalty as Troy Aikman Slams the League
The NFL is once again under fire for controversial officiating after a roughing-the-passer call on Patrick Mahomes during the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent win. The penalty, which many fans and analysts have labeled as one of the “softest calls in NFL history,” has sparked outrage across social media and beyond.
The play occurred when a Texans defender appeared to make a routine tackle on Mahomes. Despite the hit being textbook by most standards, the referees threw a flag, awarding the Chiefs 15 yards and extending a crucial drive. Fans immediately erupted, accusing the NFL of overprotecting its star quarterbacks and ruining the flow of the game.
“This is getting ridiculous. You can’t even touch a QB anymore without a flag,” one fan tweeted. Others sarcastically suggested the league rename itself the “National Flag Football League” to reflect the growing number of questionable calls.
Legendary quarterback and broadcaster Troy Aikman didn’t hold back either. During the post-game analysis, Aikman slammed the call, saying, “This is not football. It’s absurd that a routine hit is now considered roughing. The NFL has to fix this.” Aikman’s comments were met with widespread agreement, as many pointed out the inconsistency in how these penalties are enforced.
Critics argue that such calls not only disrupt the integrity of the game but also give unfair advantages to teams with marquee players like Mahomes. Some even accused the league of favoritism, suggesting that a lesser-known quarterback wouldn’t have received the same call.
As the backlash grows, the NFL’s handling of roughing-the-passer penalties continues to face scrutiny. With fans and analysts demanding change, the league must decide whether to address the issue or risk further alienating its audience.
