Patrick Mahomes Discusses Sauce Gardner Holding Penalty Late in Chiefs' Win vs. Jets

The Kansas City Chiefs' 23-20 win over the New York Jets on Sunday didn't come without its fair share of controversy.

The biggest point of contention came late in the fourth quarter on the decisive drive by Kansas City. On a key 3rd-and-20, up just three points, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling that was intercepted.

However, a flag was thrown on Jets defensive back Sauce Gardner for defensive holding, and it gave Kansas City a first down, allowing Mahomes to ultimately put the game on ice.

There's been plenty of dialogue surrounding whether the play merited a flag.
