Despite the fact that Patrick Mahomes is always excited to play for Chiefs Kingdom, the great quarterback has said that the game that the club will play against the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day will certainly be a bittersweet experience.
Mahomes, who is 28 years old, disclosed to Pro Football Talk that he is “excited” to play the “standalone” game, which will begin at one o’clock Eastern Time on Monday. He said that he is “excited” to play the game since it will broadcast during the Christmas season, when families are spending quality time together.
“I mean, everybody’s gonna be just opening presents and getting the food in them, and then they’re going to be the happiest they possibly can be, and they’re gonna turn on and see the Kansas City Chiefs playing,” Mahomes told the news organization.
However, Mahomes said that he is “a little disappointed” that he would not be able to have the same event with his own children, Sterling Skye and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, as well as his wife, Brittany Mahomes, on Christmas Day. “So I’m excited about that,” Mahomes added before adding that he is “a little disappointed.”
Mahomes expressed his disappointment by saying, “I’m going to miss Christmas Eve with my kids and Christmas morning and miss Santa coming.” Mahomes and the squad will be staying at a hotel the night before the game, so they will not be able to celebrate Christmas with their children.
Following the game on Christmas Day, the father of two children said that he would commemorate the holiday by opening gifts with his children and Brittany following the game.
“I’ll be able to spend the evening with them and open presents with them then,” Mahomes told reporters. “Therefore, it will be an unbelievable chance. I am looking forward to it. We are going to miss the children a little bit, but we are going to rejoice after the sporting event is complete.
Because the owner of KC Current attends each and every game that takes place at Arrowhead Stadium, it is quite possible that Brittany, who is 28 years old, will be there when the Chiefs and Raiders play each other on Christmas Day.
Brittany and Swift were seen sitting together in a suite at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sunday, during the Chiefs’ game versus the New England Patriots. Additionally, the pop star’s father, Scott Swift, as well as another singer, Alana Haim, were there to join them.
While the game was going on, Brittany posted a picture on her Instagram Stories that showed a cookie that was adorned with the words “Dads, Brads, and Chads.”
The mention to the sweet treat was a reference to a statement that Taylor Swift made during her Time Person of the Year cover story. In that comment, she justified the amount of press that her presence at Kelce’s games got. The singer of “Style” said to the publication that she attends games simply for the sake of “supporting Travis,” that she has “no awareness” of how often she is seen on television, and that she does not care about “pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
