Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes delivered on a promise to his wife, Brittany, securing the top seed in the AFC playoffs with a 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Brittany expecting their third child very soon, Mahomes had vowed to clinch the top spot so he could be present for the birth. Following the game, he shared his commitment with Netflix reporter Stacey Dales, stating, "I told my wife, my pregnant wife, I was gonna get the No. 1 seed so we can go have that baby. We got the one seed." Brittany, who watched the game with family, responded on Instagram, "Always keeping his promises."
The Chiefs' victory improved their record to an impressive 15-1, with one final regular season game scheduled for January 5th. It's anticipated that the team will rest key starters during this game. The playoffs are set to commence on January 11th with the wild-card round, providing Mahomes with potential downtime to be with his family. Despite a season marked by injuries and challenges, the Chiefs have consistently performed, achieving a remarkable record even with only one game where they scored over 30 points.
This win keeps the Chiefs' hopes of a third consecutive Super Bowl appearance very much alive. The team's resilience and Mahomes' dedication both on and off the field have been instrumental in their success.
