Default Burn Hole in Floormat

Anyone else have this issue? I pulled my drivers rubber floormat out today to clean up after wheeling over the weekend and noticed a burn hole where my right heel sits. The carpet is also melteded a bit. The exhaust sits below the burn. It is possible I had mud caked between the heat shield and the exhaust pipe that could have caused it.

Never heard of this but I suppose that could have happened? I wouldn't think that mud would transfer heat very well, though?
