Brittany, who is present at almost all Arrowhead games, supporting her husband all draped in Chiefs red, also has other game-day rules. Especially the away games. “Every away game that we’ve had right now, I’ve sat in seat number 15, which is his number,” she said. “Also I always put the Kansas City shirt on Steel [Mahomes’ dog].”

Mahomes had a flawless pick-less 3 touchdown night against the Philadelphia Eagles last night at State Farm Arena. And of course, Brittany was there right beside her husband on the biggest stage of the NFL. Also present with Brittany was the couple’s eldest, Sterling Skye Mahomes. The power couple recently had another son, Bronze. And with Patrick’s promise of a future dynasty at the end of the trophy celebration, Bronze won’t have to wait too long before getting his own Super Bowl experience.
