Despite managing to retain the lead of the AFC West, they’re now unable to win the Conference and that’s led to a lot of questions about whether they will be able to compete and defend their Super Bowl title.
Brady, who won the championship six times with the New England Patriots and once with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is widely regarded as the best quarterback ever, gave his thumbs up to Mahomes by showering him with praise.
You could see the fire and Patrick Mahomes yesterday,” Brady said to the media. “I love the way Patrick approaches it.
“Believe me with the confidence that he is a player. I don’t think that he thinks anyone can really stop him. I still believe in what the Chiefs are doing in that. And I’m never going to bet against a guy like Patrick because I think he’s such a phenomenal player and leader.”
Mahomes senses urgency
Their 9-6 run of form has included losses to teams such as the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos and it has left them with a 9-6 record for the season.
Their most recent loss, to the lowly Las Vegas Raiders, has left them confused and worried about how they turn their form around as they head into the postseason with an offense struggling for production and Mahomes understands the time pressure.
“All you can do is move onto the next game and next day,” Mahomes said to Charles Goldman. “I still believe we can go do what we want to do.
Jason, 36, laughed uncontrollably when Donna said he is still her favorite son. Travis had asked if the ranking had changed since last time.
“Not yet,” Donna replied. Travis joked about “the burn.”
NFL fans are now convinced that was Donna’s way of telling Travis his only hope to rank up is to give her grandchildren. Why not with Taylor?
Taylor, 34, and her family reportedly spent Christmas at Travis’ home with his father after they all attended the Chiefs’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium.
During the February 9 episode of “New Heights,” Travis said he wanted to “find a breeder” so his mother Donna “can love [him] again.”
