Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are villains? Probably, almost the entire NFL community, leaving Arrowhead team’s fans and well-wishers, thinks so. There’s no arguing that these critics want the Eagles to win over the Chiefs badly. Nevertheless, the quarterback has his fans, family, and team’s support. Despite being seen as a “villain,” Mahomes has his team to back him up. But as per the reports, that team recently tried to betray Mahomes. Wait, what?

The Chiefs were at the Super Bowl opening night in New Orleans on Monday evening. An NFL journalist took this perfect opportunity to throw a tricky question to Patrick Mahomes’s teammates. His question was to choose between Player A, who has 26 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, and Player B, who recorded 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. And guess what?

Patrick Mahomes’s teammates went with Player B, who had more touchdowns and INTs than the first player. Now here’s the catch! Not even in their dreams did the Chiefs’s players see this coming.

That Player B whom they chose was Broncos’s quarterback, Bo Nix, while Player A whom they didn’t, was none other than their own quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Hilarious, isn’t it?

That’s what the Chiefs players who answered this question felt as they laughed embarrassingly about not choosing their QB. Well, that was a tricky question though – the trap in which Patrick Mahomes’s teammates fell unknowingly. Well, we can feel you, the Chiefs. Nix is indeed an excellent quarterback, who surprisingly took the Broncos to another level this season. With 10 wins and 7 losses, he has registered a potentially great upcoming season for the franchise after Russell Wilson’s arguably failed stint.

Even Patrick Mahomes agrees with Bo Nix’s greatness, as he did earlier. Even on the opening night, he expressed, “He’s a competitor. That’s the biggest thing that I always look for in quarterbacks….It’s not always about the throwing mechanics, not always about the legs. Can you run and can you compete? Can you go out there and find ways to win? And I saw that from him all season long. Hopefully, he doesn’t win a lot of games against us, but I know he’s gonna be a great quarterback in this league.”

Still, Mahomes remains the obvious choice for his Chiefs teammates, even if it means unintentionally slighting their own quarterback. Nevertheless, once they learned the identities of Player A and Player B, they chose Mahomes without hesitation–whether over AFC rival Bo Nix or their Super Bowl rival, the Eagles’s Jalen Hurts. But amidst this companionship and unity of the Chiefs, a $21 million Eagles star is planning something big against them.

What is the plan to end Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs’s 3-peat?

The Super Bowl is scheduled to take place on Sunday, February 9. Patrick Mahomes’s team is on the brink of winning their third Lombardi in a row. But will they win this one? The $21 million Eagles’s star, Jalen Carter, has a plan. What plan? Well, he knows how to stop Patrick Mahomes!

Ahead of the Super Bowl game LIX game, Eagles’s defensive tackle Jalen Carter admitted that it’s not easy to stop Patrick Mahomes. But there is still a simple key – take him down. Yes! Carter revealed that to stop Mahomes, “One thing is to sack him. If we do that or get him off his game, I think we’re going to have a good game.”

And he also believes in his defensive coordinator Vic Fangio that he will make plans accordingly. That’s why Carter added, “I’m very confident. Coach Vic got us here and I’m pretty sure he’s going to finish us off right.” So, have the Eagles got this one?
