The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes lauded his team’s performance following their 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills to book their place in the AFC Championship Game. This is Mahomes’ first true road playoff game since joining the Chiefs.

“Guys took it as a challenge,” Mahomes said in his post-match press conference. “We just came in with the same mindset, that we’re going to come together, put our best foot forward and see if we can come out with a win. And that takes the mentality throughout the week, it takes every single play executing, and we did a great job of that today and were able to score enough to win.”

Mahomes emerged as a standout player for the Chiefs on the night, throwing just 23 passes by securing 215 yards and two touchdowns. With an impressive road record of 8-2 this season, the Chiefs will face the Baltimore Ravens in yet another challenging road game on Sunday as they look to book their place in Super Bowl LIII.

The Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes won’t retire from the NFL anytime soon. But when he does, he would like to remain part of the league as a team owner.

Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Mahomes said that he wants to own an NFL team once he’s done playing.

“I think Tom [Brady] is trying to do it right now, but that’s definitely where you want to get to,” said Mahomes when asked about his interest in owning an NFL team. “I love this sport and want to give back in any way possible. When I’m done playing, obviously I’ll be a Chiefs fan, but at the same time I want to have that competitive edge I’ve always had my entire life.”

Mahomes is already preparing himself for a potential future as an NFL team owner. The reigning NFL MVP has minority stakes in MLB’s Kansas City Royals as well as two soccer teams based in Kansas City: MLS’ Sporting KC and NWSL’s Current. He recently also invested in Formula One’s Alpine F1 Team.

“I can’t do it in the NFL while I’m playing, so I’m always looking around at other sports,” he added. “It’s hard to get in all sports, NBA and all that different type of stuff, but I’m always keeping my ears open. If they give me the opportunity, I’m going to jump at it.”

Only three former NFL players ended up owning an NFL team: George Halas Sr, Jerry Richardson, and Tom Brady.

Halas was the founder and first owner of the Chicago Bears while also playing a wide receiver for the team and serving as its head coach. Richardson, who played two seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts, became the owner of the Carolina Panthers in 1993. And the most recent example is legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who became a minority owner with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this year.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes cleared another big career milestone in a 41-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Mahomes finished the game with 272 passing yards, getting his career total to 25,044.

Mahomes is now the fastest QB in NFL history to reach 25K passing yards, needing only 83 games. The previous record was held by LA Rams’ Matthew Stafford, who did it in 90 games.

Mahomes cleared the 25K passing yards mark in the third quarter with a 37-yard throw for Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

“It really is cool,” Mahomes said after the game. “Doing it at Arrowhead … it’s a tremendous honor to be a part of this organization and be able to do stuff like that at this stadium. It’ll be stuff I remember the rest of my life.”

Mahomes didn’t finish the Bears’ game, exiting in the third quarter once the Chiefs got to a 41-0 lead. The reigning NFL MVP said that the decision was made because the game was already decided and not because of a rolled ankle he sustained in the first half.

“I would’ve been fine to play the rest of the game,” he said. “If anything, it kind of scared me more just being that ankle.

Mahomes had a slow start to the 2023 NFL season for his standards. He is completing 65.5% percent of his passes throughout the first three weeks while throwing for 803 yards, seven touchdowns, and two picks.

The Kansas City Chiefs have rewarded superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ patience with a contract restructure that includes $210.6 million guaranteed money.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the reworked contract will see Mahomes earn $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026. This is the most money an NFL player has received in a four-season span.

Mahomes’ agent Chris Cabott told Schefter that Chiefs and his client will revisit the contract once again after the 2026 NFL season wraps up.

Mahomes signed a $503 million, 10-year extension with the Chiefs back in 2020. The agreement was uniquely constructed so the Chiefs could get salary cap flexibility to surround Mahomes with quality players while still recognizing his status as arguably the best player in the game.

While the original extension made Mahomes the highest-paid player in the NFL, he has since slipped to eighth place following a number of big-money extensions that other star quarterbacks received. This prompted the Chiefs to ensure Mahomes doesn’t feel underpaid by bringing his average annual salary to $52.6 million. He still remains under contract with the organization through the 2031 season.

Mahomes won the NFL MVP award last season while guiding the Chiefs to a Super Bowl win. However, he has had a slow start to the 2023 campaign, completing 62.5 percent of his passes while throwing for 531 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Patrick Mahomes was named MVP as he lifted the Kansas City Chiefs to Super Bowl LVII victory with a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Following the victory, Mahomes and the Chiefs will head to Disney World to partake in the winners’ parade, which is set to commence at 4:30 p.m. ET on Monday. Mahomes walked away with the MVP title despite aggravating his high ankle injury during the first half of the Eagles’ game. He continued with the game despite the setback, even scrambling 26 yards on the drive leading up to the Chiefs’ game-winning field goal.

“It felt great until I kind of rolled it a little bit,” Mahomes said of his injury. “I thought I felt really good and then that happened, and I had a lot of soreness going through into halftime and was able to move it around, kind of get taped up a little bit, and go out there in that second half. It didn’t feel good, but I was going to leave it all out there.”

This triumph marks the Chiefs’ Super Bowl comeback, having lost 31-9 to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers in Super Bowl LV. By winning this year’s Super Bowl, Mahomes becomes the 13th quarterback in the NFL to win multiple Super Bowl championships.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said that his right ankle is on the mend ahead of his team’s Super Bowl LVII showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. He stated that he does not expect to be limited in terms of playing ability because of the injury setback, despite there being no guarantees.

“You won’t know exactly how it is until you get to game day,” Mahomes remarked. “I mean, I definitely move around better than I was moving last week or two weeks ago. So, it’s just trying to continue to get the treatment and the rehab and get it as close to 100% and then rely on some adrenaline to let me do a little bit extra when I’m on the field.”

Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during the Chiefs’ Divisional Round 27-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on January 21, when a Jaguars’ pass rusher landed on it during the first quarter. While Mahomes pushed through his injury to see out the game, he had to alter his playing style in order to accommodate for his injury. Mahomes started the 23-20 Western Conference Championship win over the Cincinnati Bengals and is expected to play in Super Bowl LVII.

With his team set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recalled how the pain of losing Super Bowl LV has served as motivation to him and his teammates to win this year’s contest.

“The win is amazing,” Mahomes said with regard to his and the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV victory a year before their bitter defeat. “It’s one of the best moments of your entire life. You take away all the positives from that. But that loss, that stings. That motivates you for years. What it’s done for me is it’s motivated me to be back in this game again. I want to make sure that I can have that winning feeling and not that losing one because that losing feeling is one you’ll never forget.”

Upon facing the Eagles on Sunday, the Chiefs will appear in their third Super Bowl in four years. While Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during this year’s divisional round playoff against Jacksonville Jaguars, he played around his injury as the Chiefs emerged victorious.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes battled through his high ankle sprain to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, thereby booking his team’s place in Super Bowl LVII.

“People don’t realize how hurt he was,” Kansas City general manager Brett Veach said of Mahomes. “We all saw the injury. High ankles are terrible injuries, and sometimes guys miss two, three weeks, and he was out there and running for a first down and a big play in the game that got us in field goal range. But it just adds to an already great legacy.”

Mahomes was injured during his team’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars a week ago. Despite incurring the injury midgame, Mahomes pushed through to see out the remainder of the contest and went on to state his intention to play in the following game against the Bengals.

Despite playing through injury, the Chiefs quarterback made 29-of-43 passing while fumbling the ball just once throughout the game against the Bengals. In addition, he performed his final snap 17 seconds before the end of the game, thereby handing his team a last-minute victory.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has expressed his confidence in his team’s ability to come away with the AFC title in their showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

“AFC championship week, ready to go,” Mahomes announced, going on to discuss his recovery from a high ankle sprain that he picked up during the Chiefs’ 27-20 divisional round playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.

“It’s doing good,” he explained. “I’ve done a few days of treatment, a few days of rehab. Excited to get on the practice field and kind of test it out and see where I’m at. But it’s feeling good so far.”

While Mahomes was able to see out the game against the Jaguars, he did have to adjust his style of play in order to cope with the injury setback. Although the league leader in passes from outside the pocket in the regular season, Mahomes did not make any such passes during the Jaguars game.

According to Mahomes, this injury will not impact his game against the Bengals. Instead, he will focus on finding the best ways to make effective throws that will hand Kansas City a path to victory.

“It feels better than I thought it was going to be now,” Mahomes said of his ankle following the Chiefs’ win. “Obviously, I have a lot of adrenaline going right now, so we’ll see how it feels. But I’ll hop right in the treatment and try to do whatever I can to be as close to 100 percent by next week. Luckily for us, we played the early game on Saturday, so we get an extra almost half a day that I can let that ankle rest.”

The Chiefs have scheduled an MRI for Mahomes on Sunday in order to gain further clarity on the quarterback’s injury recovery status. The player injured his ankle after falling awkwardly during the first quarter of the Jaguars’ game

Although the Chiefs wanted Mahomes to head to the locker room for X-rays, the 27-year-old player refused, instead choosing to continue the game. He later gave in to the team’s X-ray request, going on to perform some agility tests.
