Getty Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes
Following another dominant performance for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, something didn’t go the way it normally does. The second-year quarterback never shies away from the cameras and has no problem chatting with reporters after games. This wasn’t the case following a Week 10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, and the quarterback had a reason for leaving promptly.
As NFL Network’s James Palmer revealed, Mahomes left the stadium immediately after the game due to a family emergency.
Patrick Mahomes will not be available postgame because of a family emergency I’m told. He has already left the stadium. He skipped doing the on the field interview as well with the game broadcast.
Update
In a terrible update, Palmer revealed Mahomes’ girlfriend’s stepfather passed away while attending the Chiefs game.
Thoughts certainly go out to both Mahomes and his family. Chiefs fans made sure to send their thoughts as well when the original news was revealed.
Hope everything is ok with Patrick Mahomes Family.
Hope @PatrickMahomes5 family is ok.#ChiefsKingdom
Sending my prayers out to @PatrickMahomes5 and his family. Hope everything is ok. #ChiefsKingdom
