KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: In a dramatic event at Arrowhead Stadium, Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar quarterback, delivered a sharp piece of advice to Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely, as per Daily Mail.

This came after Likely had a game-tying touchdown ruled out by mere inches during Thursday night’s clash between the two AFC giants.

The Chiefs triumphed over the Ravens in a thrilling rematch of last season’s AFC Championship game, with a final score of 27-20.

However, the game’s tension reached a boiling point in the final seconds, as the Ravens believed they had tied the game at 27-27 in the most dramatic fashion.

With the clock reading zero, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson launched a pass to Likely at the back of the end zone, sparking immediate celebration from the Ravens' side.

The team's elation was palpable, with coach John Harbaugh gearing up for a potential game-winning two-point conversion attempt.

Yet, in a gut-wrenching twist, the Ravens’ celebrations were cut short. Video replay revealed that Likely’s toe had stepped out of bounds by the narrowest of margins, nullifying the touchdown and sealing the Chiefs’ victory.

The Chiefs' sideline erupted in celebration, storming the field in front of their home crowd.

Post-game, reporters pressed Mahomes on what advice he’d give Likely in such a heart-wrenching situation.

The three-time Super Bowl champion didn’t mince words, offering a blunt piece of wisdom. "You should wear white cleats next time. That’s my advice for him," Mahomes quipped, hinting that the choice of footwear could have made the out-of-bounds call less noticeable.

Likely, clearly still reeling from the disappointing end to the game, did not hold back when discussing the Chiefs’ performance.

Speaking at the post-game press conference, Likely made his frustration known, offering a pointed critique of the opposing team. "This is probably the worst game we’re going to play all year. So, if this is the best that they’ve got I mean… good luck in the postseason," Likely said.

It wasn’t just Likely who was vocal about the outcome. Ravens quarterback Jackson, in a puzzling statement, seemed to stand by his belief that the touchdown should have counted.

Despite clear evidence showing Likely’s toe out of bounds, Jackson insisted, "I still think it was a touchdown."
