The Kansas City Chiefs have become the NFL’s villain.
Following in the footsteps of the New England Patriots, the Chiefs’ dominance in recent years has earned Kansas City far more foes than friends.
Super Bowl LVIII MVP Patrick Mahomes has effortlessly transitioned from playing the role of a scrappy underdog to that of a new-age Tom Brady and revealed how he is welcomed at opponents’ stadiums in a recent interview.
Speaking to Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast, Mahomes recounted the reception he got at Highmark Stadium in January before bouncing the Buffalo Bills from the AFC playoffs.
Patrick Mahomes on Bills fans:
“I got to Buffalo this year and saw 40,000 middle fingers on the way to the stadium. I’m trying to hand my headband and sleeve to a kid and snowballs are flying at me, I’m like, these people really don't like me” pic.twitter.com/3akrvaQWj8

“I got to Buffalo this year and I think I saw … 40,000 middle fingers on the way into the stadium,” Mahomes said. “They were ready to go. Then, we go out there and win, I’m trying to hand my headband and sleeve off to a kid, and snowballs are just flying at me. These people really don’t like me. It’s not fake at all.”
Whether opposing fans like him or not, they’ll have to continue dealing with Mahomes every January until their team comes up with a way to stop him.
