Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sensational Sunday in a 44-21 win over the Cardinals, but there were a few throws off the mark.

Two of those passes were just out of the reach of wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

Could Hardman have dive to catch one or both of them? Former Chiefs wide receiver Marc Boerigter apparently thought so as he tweeted: The amount of balls Hardman gives up on is alarming. Make an effort dude. Lay out.

A number of Chiefs fans came to Hardmans defense, and he responded before deleting this tweet.

This was later deleted by Hardman. Screengrab of deleted Mecole Hardman tweet

Boerigter, who played for the Chiefs in 2002-03 and 2005, responded to some fans and offered a general comment about his original tweet.

In the latter, he seemed to take a veiled shot at Hardman.

Will be happy too. You might want to go watch over the years, and training camp, and every game film mr film analyst and then come back to me on balls he has actually competed for.

I appreciate the defenders AND those who don’t care to understand. I also appreciate those who search their name on here after a win.

Boerigter is best known among Chiefs fans for his 99-yard touchdown catch in 2002.

From covering the World Series to the World Cup, Pete has done a little bit of everything since joining The Star in 1997.
