Tracy Wolfson goes off over Patrick Mahomes sore-loser claim: I was right there

CBS Sports sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson shut down the idea that Chiefs Patrick Mahomes snubbed Broncos QB Bo Nix after Denver stunned Kansas City with a dramatic 28-24 comeback victory to take first place in the AFC West on Sunday.Wolfson, who covered the game for CBS Sports, reshared an X post from ML Football, which is a social media sports aggregator, that said Mahomes was under fire for his interaction with Nix after the game “This is absolutely not true,” Wolfson wrote.“I was right there and Nix was on the other side of field when game ended and celebrating and took a while to get to Mahomes.“They had a long conversation with Mahomes and Nix both showing respect for each other.” That post by ML Football has since been deleted.Mahomes and Nix were smiling and talking before they shook hands and hugged, as seen in a video by CBS News Colorado.
