It was a hit we rarely see anymore in the\u00a0NFL, with the league\u2019s firm stance on protecting the quarterback, but some fans have blamed Patrick Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2024-2025 NFL &#8211; PASSING YARDS Leaderboards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It first started when\u00a0Tom Brady\u00a0joined\u00a0Colin Cowherd\u00a0to discuss the hit. Throughout the discussion, Brady hinted that Lawrence deserved some blame for the hit.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf we don\u2019t want these hits to take place, we\u2019ve got to penalize both the offense and the defense,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Brady said about quarterbacks sliding too late.<\/p>\n<p>However, many fans think that Mahomes, who has mastered the art of the fake slide or pretending to go out of bounds before picking up a few extra yards, is to blame, and that\u2019s why defenders feel the need to still go in for the big hit.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI see QBs tiptoe down the sideline and get calls\u201d he\u2019s talking about mahomes,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said another.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis new NFL is designed for scoring and not defense defenders are playing with one hand behind their back Patrick Mahomes he acts like he\u2019s about run out of bounds all the time and tiptoes on the sideline but he he get popped it\u2019s a flag smh let\u2019s get back to real football \ud83c\udfc8,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0a third added.<\/p>\n<p>Click on \u2018Follow Us\u2019 and get notified of the most viral NFL stories via Google!<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFirst I don\u2019t think the suspension was warranted, I f he had intended to harm the QB that is one thing but the QB slid late! It\u2019s the Mahomes effect, where he pretends to slide or pretends he is going OB then sprints 20 more yards! The defense has to anticipate that! Bad call!\u201d\u00a0<\/em>a fourth pointed out.<\/p>\n<h2>There Are Multiple Instances Of Patrick Mahomes Doing This<\/h2>\n<p>These aren\u2019t necessarily baseless claims that people are throwing around about Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p>One recently viral video shows Mahomes escaping the pocket against the Lions on a second-and-seven play. After about four yards, he seemingly lets up before running again for the first down.<\/p>\n<p>Another video shows Mahomes pretending to run out of bounds at the 29-yard line against the 49ers before juking back inside and running it in for a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>It begs whether the league needs to step in and try to fix this problem, which is too big to ignore.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a few days since\u00a0Trevor Lawrence\u00a0received a dirty shot from Houston Texans linebacker Azee Al-Shaair.
