Last Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ 26-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints had tough competition in terms of attention and viewers in the city. The Major League Baseball postseason is underway, and the Kansas City Royals are battling the New York Yankees in the American League Division series.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes discussed the Royals’ grabbing the crowd’s attention during his postgame press conference.
“I really wanted to focus on the game and look after it and maybe get a scoreboard kind of shot of it, and they gave us a couple of those. You could feel that that stuff was going good,” said Mahomes. “There was kind of a lull there, kind of, I think, towards the end of the game, and I was like, ‘They’re not showing the score. The (New York) Yankees came back.’ The Royals picked it up and got the win, and it was extremely exciting to see the fanbase because, obviously, we know that the fans at (GEHA Field at) Arrowhead (Stadium) are going to be loud and (cause a) ruckus and be really into the game, but I haven’t gotten to experience that stadium in Kauffman (Stadium) – sold out playoffs and that stuff and so it was cool to see that kind of combine.”
The Royals were victorious on Monday, tying the series at one game each. Two games this week are scheduled in Kauffman Stadium. The defending Super Bowl MVP plans to attend a game but has family first on his mind.
“That’s the plan; I have to just – it’s (the) bye week,” said Mahomes. “so Brittany’s (Mahomes) vacation and me getting to the Royals game will feud for sure.”
Chiefs Kingdom should be on the lookout for Mahomes and maybe some other Chiefs players in attendance for games three and four.
