Patrick Mahomes was having a tough day as the Kansas City Chiefs looked to right the ship against the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

Mahomes had two interceptions in the first half. One was off of Tyreek Hill’s hands to Kendall Fuller and the other was as he was going to the ground and he threw up a duck, making it easy for Bobby McCain to intercept the pass.

Randi Mahomes, Patrick’s mother, was upset with one interception being credited to the quarterback. She tweeted that easily catchable passes that are missed and intercepted shouldn’t count as interceptions, rather a fumble.

"Ok PEOPLE that should not be an interception on the QB… that should be a fumble or anything else.. just putting it out there.. GO CHIEFS," Randi Mahomes tweeted.
