Chiefs coach Andy Reid was fined $100,000 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined $50,000 for criticizing officials following Kansas City's 20-17 loss to Buffalo last week, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the fines werenโ€™t announced.

Reid and Mahomes violated the NFLโ€™s policy about public criticism of game officials for comments about an offside penalty that negated a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Kadarius Toney clearly lined up offside on a play in which he caught a lateral from Travis Kelce and ran for what would have been a go-ahead score. Reid said officials normally warn players about being offside and called the penalty โ€œa bit embarrassingโ€ for the NFL.

Mahomes slammed his helmet on the sideline and screamed at officials afterward. He said the penalty call was โ€œelementary schoolโ€ stuff.
