The Kansas City Chiefs’ fan base and vast majority of NFL fanatics were stunned to read a column about Patrick Mahomes which condemned him focusing more about his looks and appearance rather than how his team is performing on the court. The spoken off article spread like fire as the wife – Brittany Matthews came out to defend her husband.
Mahomes has as it is, been under the radar ever since the Kansas City Chiefs lost to Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 showdown. While Patrick Mahomes had a decisive play and landed on the unfortunate side of events, NFL Analysts blatantly blamed him for his clutch ability as the Colts pressurized him into making a mistake.
John Geimer who writes for a local newspaper in Kansas quoted, “After watching the Kansas City Chiefs for the past two years, I think it is clear that Patrick Mahomes is not a team player. He doesn’t care if his team wins or loses. All he cares about is how he looks. It’s beginning to look very obvious. He’s a good quarterback but really doesn’t care about his team as a whole.”
Critics have been behind Patrick Mahomes ever since the last showdown in the previous season when the Chiefs bowed out after a loss against Cincinnati Bengals. While Joe Burrow gained all the positives, it was Mahomes who withstood all the negatives.
On the same note, Patrick Mahomes’ wife – Brittany Matthews came out to defend her husband and she wrote on Twitter, “Y’all are extremely ignorant for this. Kansas City doesn’t do this to its people, what a joke you – guys are.”
Fans got aware about the severity of the article and how badly it has spread when even the mayor got involved and questioned the very newspaper about an Illinois guy opinionating views on the city and one of its biggest athletes.
That being said, there are no two-ways in stating that Patrick Mahomes is arguably the greatest modern-day QB, or at least one of. Having dragged Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl in 50 years, he surely needs no backing to justify his passion for the game or his team.
