In a recent appearance on the NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football," former Chiefs wide receiver Dante Hall openly expressed his disappointment with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for their emotional outbursts on the sidelines following Kansas City"s loss to Las Vegas.
Hall, implored the team to rediscover their composure and return to the positive mindset that had fueled their past successes.
He criticized the duo"s behavior as reminiscent of “spoiled little brats," emphasizing the negative impact of yelling and screaming on the team"s morale.
“When you are screaming and yelling at your players, that permeates negatively. What you have had in the first five years, that poker face, we know we’re gonna win this in the end, that permeates positively. Get back to being positive and not much… agh on the sideline with your guys. “It’s like my little kids running around here on Christmas Day," Hall said. “We got you a Christmas tree filled with presents and you’re acting like spoiled little brats. These guys know I love them. So, as a friend, as a brother, I had to call ya out. This is not a good look. I’m watching the game with my kids, my daughter loves Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, and you’re acting like that? C’mon, guys! Be better and I think the team will be better," said Dante Hall.
"I think [Mahomes] needs to fall in love with the mundane. Yes, for 5 years we have been used to the big plays to Tyreek, to Kelce, all of that… It's time to be Checkdown Tom Brady…"
