    It didn’t take long for some drama in the NFL season.

    Now, there appears to be some animosity between two of the AFC’s top teams.

    After the Chiefs topped the Ravens in a thrilling season opener on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium, Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith said the Chiefs’ Peyton Hendershot “better watch himself” after the two got into it on the sidelines in the fourth quarter.

    The beef all started with under 12 minutes left in the final quarter, with the Chiefs driving and looking to convert a third-and-3.

    Quarterback Patrick Mahomes did just that, scrambling to his left and past the sticks for the first down, running out of bounds past the line to gain.

    Already out of bounds, Mahomes was shoved by Smith, leading to the quarterback going to the ground.

    No flag was called for a late hit out of bounds.

    No matter, Hendershot — who was not in uniform for the game — appeared to shove Smith and take a few steps toward him on the Chiefs sideline as both teams ended up converging in a testy moment.

    After the game, Smith was asked about the incident, calling what Mahomes did a flop.

    “He flopped, yeah he flopped,” Smith told reporters about Mahomes . “That’s why the referees didn’t call it, that was a great no-call by the ref .”

    Peyton Hendershot seemed to take exception to Roquan Smith’s actions.

    “Whoever [number] 88 is, I don’t know who he is, but he better watch himself. He did a little slick push,” Smith added.

    “I’ll see him when I see him.”

    Smith finished with a team-best seven tackles and an interception, but Mahomes and the Chiefs had the last laugh with a thrilling win.
