The year 2021 was a big year for Patrick Mahomes. While he and the Chiefs delivered their best performances, the QB got into the midst of a strange controversy. His wife, Brittany Mahomes, went ballistic after ESPN analysts compared him with Josh Allen. But to keep the situation calm, Mahomes used a Kobe Bryant quote after his AFC title win.

The 2021 AFC divisional playoffs saw Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs battle for the top spot. One expert opinion before the AFC game was that Josh Allen was the superior quarterback to Patrick Mahomes. Brittany Mahomes was fuming after the take went viral. She expressed her displeasure on social media. But the Grim Reaper handled the scene like a pro and used Mamba Mentality citation.

Mahomes mentioned after the game, “Kobe has one of the best mentalities of all time as far as a competitor out there and winning championships, not just winning games. I take a lot from that of going out there every single day and not being satisfied with where you’re at and, like I said, the job’s not finished.”

“When we went into the season, we weren’t talking about going to the Super Bowl. We were talking about winning again and we’re trying to run it back. I’m excited for the opportunity to go out there and play against a great football team and try to do that,” He added.

The ESPN’s pre-game breakdown to keep Bills over Chiefs did not age well. The Kansas City Chiefs won 38-24 over the Buffalo Bills to advance to their second straight Super Bowl. Even Patrick Mahomes made a simple reaction to the tale of the tape.

Chiefs Kingdom does not have pleasant memories with Patrick Mahomes’ wife

The OT game between the Chiefs and Bills saw Patrick Mahomes connect with Travis Kelce for an 8-yard touchdown throw in overtime. It was enough to secure a 42-36 victory and a position in the AFC playoffs. Some would recall the beautiful moment when Mahomes ran to find Josh Allen and hug it out. But the fans remember a notorious scenario.

Brittany was at the Arrowhead Stadium’s premium suite and was ready to celebrate. Following the victory, Mahomes’ wife opened a bottle of champagne and sprayed it all over the football fans seated beneath her box. The champagne party footage quickly went viral across social media, and Mahomes’ wife became a notorious figure among the Chiefs Kingdom.
