Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes revealed a superstitious ritual he abides by during the NFL season, and it has to do with his hair.
In a video used by the Chiefs in a promotion for the “Chiefs Ritual Officer” sweepstakes, Mahomes detailed how routine-oriented he is during the football season, which includes eating the same foods, getting to Arrowhead Stadium at the same time every game day, and even admitted that his wife, Brittany Mahomes, gets annoyed with another routine of his that’s a bit more unusual.
“Brittany gets mad at me because during the week if I have a shampoo bottle and it runs out of shampoo, I can’t just get another one because that’s bad luck.”
Mahomes went on to say that his weekly routine “has to be exactly the same throughout the entire week,” including going through that week’s game plan and his game day warmup routine.
We need to know Chiefs Kingdom, what’s your gameday ritual?
We’ve all got one, from wearing our fav pair of socks to sitting in the same spot every Sunday, so comment yours for a chance to win a one-day contract in our newest position, Chiefs Ritual Officer 👀
