The Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are having a tough time lately. Despite being projected to be undefeated in the 2023 NFL season, the defending champion has already witnessed five defeats until Week 14. While teams like the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys are smashing less-promising teams with big wins, the Chiefs are going down to underdogs like the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills.
Following the Week 14 loss to the Bills, Mahomes’ frustration was visible as the QB showcased a furious sight of him that the NFL world is not habituated to seeing. However, Pat didn’t halt back from regretting his outburst as well. Keeping aside the recent loss, the quarterback recently got swayed by the big deal of an MLB star, which prompted fans to trigger him to venture into a new sports world.
Fans tease Patrick Mahomes to follow in father’s footsteps
On Saturday afternoon, MLB pitcher Shohei Ohtani sent shockwaves among sports enthusiasts by signing a record-breaking 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. It marks the largest contract in sports history, beating soccer superstar Lionel Messi’s $673 million deal with FC Barcelona.
Following the blockbuster contract, former NFL star JJ Watt, who frequently slammed the league for unreasonably fining the players, expressed his wonder on social media.
Mahomes, too, didn’t shy away from sharing his wonder about Shohei’s deal and wrote, “Bro like what! Congrats to him!”
Meanwhile, the NFL community rallied in the QB’s comment section, saying it is not too late to change his profession.
A netizen wrote, “Picked the wrong sport, but always time to change. Or be like Bo!”
Pat’s father was a professional baseball pitcher in the MLB from 1992 to 2003. Many netizens urged the Chiefs QB to follow in his father’s footsteps to glorify the baseball world.
A fan wrote,” It’s not too late to switch sports and follow in your father’s footsteps!”
Mahomes earned two Super Bowls for Kansas City, and is widely regarded as the next GOAT of the NFL. Even Tom Brady, the GOAT, himself provided a nod in favor of the Chiefs star, so, the team’s fans will never like to lose their QB. However, fans from other franchises will obviously want the two-time MVP to leave the football world to reduce their threats.
A user wrote,” As a Broncos fan, I can honestly say you should consider switching to Baseball.”
Before embarking on the football world, Pat even played basketball, and notably, he was doing an incredible job in that field as well. However, following a viral clip of him acing the basketball court, the Chiefs strictly warned him to refrain from getting associated with other sports, and hence, the Chiefs fans can rest assured that their QB is not going to leave the NFL world soon.
