Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs finished their 2020 NFL campaign on an anti-climactic note. The Chiefs suffered a 31-9 loss in the Super Bowl at the hands of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were totally outplayed by the Bucs who put up a defensive masterclass under the tutelage of defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles.

Speaking to the media in his first press conference as a Kansas City Chiefs player, Orlando Brown spoke about how he is looking forward to playing with 2018 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes.
“I look forward to keeping [Mahomes] clean. Whether he has a broken leg, healthy leg, healthy ankle — whatever the deal is, I look forward to keeping him clean. He shouldn’t have to run around because of me, period,” Brown said at his introductory press conference.
