It was not an ideal campaign for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Though they had a tremendous regular season, the Chiefs couldn’t make it past the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship. That game can arguably be termed as the worst performance by Mahomes this season, including the playoffs. Which made the quarterback a subject of ridicule across social media, and the comedian Keegan-Michael Key just took that to a next level.

The Chiefs had an electrifying start to the game after the 26-year-old quarterback tossed three back-to-back touchdowns in their first three drives. While the Bengals managed just one field goal. At one point in the game, the Chiefs were leading by a whopping margin of 18 points. However, the second half completely changed the whole dynamic of the game.
Coming out in the second half, Mahomes did not play like himself. He tossed two interceptions, one of which came during the overtime, costing them the game. It looked like the Bengals’ defense dominated Mahomes in the second half. The Chief’s pocket crumbled suddenly, and the quarterback was open to sacks most of the time.

His joke was so nasty that it gave Travis Kelce a grim face. Kelce being a teammate and good friends with the quarterback; did not like the notion of making fun of him in such a way. Judging by the discontented look on Kelce’s face, Key replied, “forgive me, Travis.”
