The clock was ticking towards the end of the extra time with 13 minutes remaining to end the game. At the 107th minute, an immaculate strike came from Trinity Rodman and that has kept Team USA’s Olympic dreams alive. Just like that, coach Emma Hayes‘s USWNT turned things around to show that they did not come to Paris just to be knocked out in the quarters.

In a note to thank the fellow American for helping the USWNT oust Japan in a close game, Chiefs’ ace QB Patrick Mahomes penned a one-word message. Shortly after Trinity Rodman shot Team USA to a tough-fought win, Mahomes took to X and congratulated the Washington Spirit star. “Gooooaaaaalllllllll,” the three-time Super Bowl winner wrote on his X profile, celebrating Rodman’s striker and Team USA’s triumph.

Trinity Rodman’s stellar show at the Olympic quarter-final was indeed one for the books, due to many reasons. She had a chip on her shoulder. If the game were to get physical and she was to commit a foul, the Washington star would not see Team USA’s Olympic semi-final game. She outmaneuvered that challenge quite well. Besides, Rodman kept on knocking and knocking on Japan’s door, only to be thwarted by their ace defensive gameplay. But the 23-year-old did not lose hope and delivered when it mattered the most. Who else other than Patrick Mahomes, who powered the Chiefs’ last Super Bowl win at the death, is better to fan over Rodman’s clutch gene?

Rodman will surely be on cloud nine once she gets to her hotel room and checks Mahomes’ grand praise. It is a mammoth achievement to hear praises from the reigning Super Bowl champ. It is sweeter when you’re his super fan.

Revisiting Trinity Rodman’s gesture favoring Patrick Mahomes in the NFL QB debate

Back when Patrick Mahomes had just one Super Bowl ring, he earned many comparisons to mega-star QB Aaron Rodgers. Since Mahomes equaled Rodgers’ Super Bowl tally, many even opined that the Chiefs star had an edge over the veteran quarterback. During the same time, Trinity Rodman was asked to choose between Mahomes and Rodgers. The Washington star chose Mahomes without any hesitation. Now when the time has come for Patrick Mahomes to give back the respect to Trinity Rodman, he has done that quite sensationally.
