The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a dismal 3-4 start this season which is far from ideal for a team that's been in the Super Bowl in two straight years. By no surprise, the frustration is brewing in and around the organization.

On Friday, Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu put the KC supporters on blast on Instagram, saying the team has one of the most toxic fanbases in professional sports. Just a day after, the three-time All-Pro has apologized for his comments. Via PFT:

“Obviously that was a mistake on my part,” Mathieu said. “I haven’t had the season I’ve wanted to have, I think as a team we could say the same. Frustration tends to build up. People that really know me, teammates, people I know in the community, even Chiefs fans I come across in a gas station, all these people I think can see me being a genuine person. I shouldn’t have used those words. I think I’m man enough to admit that and really own that. Just looking forward to playing better, doing better, and I think most importantly not being a distraction to my team.”

Well, at least Mathieu held himself accountable. You frankly can't blame the Chiefs fans for showing their displeasure. After all, they're used to nothing but success. Kansas City put forward arguably their worst performance of 2021 in Week 7, losing 27-3 to the Tennessee Titans. Patrick Mahomes and Co. will have a chance to respond on Monday Night Football however against the depleted New York Giants.

Hopefully, the Chiefs supporters can forgive Mathieu for his remarks because he truly does love this franchise.
