Is Patrick Mahomes guilty of LeBron James-level flopping?
At least that's what the NFL might be thinking.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the NFL is expected to expand its replay assist system for next season to make the QB slide and other roughing the passer penalties reviewable.
This came up after Troy Aikman voiced criticism of a roughing the passer call against the Texans during their playoff game against Mahomes and the Chiefs.
"You can't, as a quarterback, run around and play games with the defenders and then... be able to draw a penalty."
The best players force rule changes all the time, across all the major sports leagues. LeBron James is the most commonly blamed face of flopping in the NBA.
Patrick Mahomes probably doesn't like being accused of flopping or having a flopping-deterring rule made because of him.
But there are worse fates than being mentioned in the same breath as LeBron James.
