Patrick Mahomes sent NFL fans into a frenzy Thursday night after delivering an epic response to Ja’Marr Chase during the Chiefs’ private ring ceremony to commemorate their Super Bowl LIV victory over the Eagles.
Earlier this week, Chase decided to shake the table after the Bengals receiver picked his quarterback and friend Joe Burrow as the NFL’s best QB. The star wideout then followed his pick by saying “Pat Who?” when asked why he didn’t agree with Burrow naming the reigning NFL and Super Bowl MVP as the league’s top dog.
Needless to say, the trash talk evidently made its way back to Mahomes, who shared a not-so-subtle message to Chase on Twitter after receiving his second ring in four years.
“That’s Who,” Mahomes tweeted along with two ring emojis and a picture of himself posing with his hardware.

On a night where the Chiefs celebrated their latest championship, it’s clear that Mahomes had other plans in his mind, as the two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion made sure to make the most of the glorious occasion with his ice-cold mic drop.
And, while it remains to be seen whether Chase or any other Bengal responds, the friendly war of words should add plenty of extra heat between the AFC rivals ahead of their upcoming meeting on New Year’s Eve this season.
