Patrick Mahomes forgot about Valentine’s Day thanks to the Super Bowl and NFL fans totally get it

Most understand Patrick Mahomes as a quarterback who will usually dot all of his i’s and cross all of his t’s. He’s someone who will use his past failures as great motivation, too. But as his third career Super Bowl berth looms this Sunday, it looks like the star signal-caller forgot a crucial upcoming detail — Valentine’s Day.

Oh, buddy. Oh, no!

To be fair to Mahomes, with the NFL implementing a 17-game regular-season schedule, the Super Bowl will probably bump up close to Valentine’s Day every year now. (It falls on the Tuesday after this year.)

Still, watching Mahomes’ face and ensuing frantic honesty when he realized the holiday was actually coming up soon was absolute gold:

On the one hand, having a romantic day with your significant other is very important. On the other, it’s always possible Mahomes — who, yes, has played in three of the last four Super Bowls — never appears in one again.

So, if Mahomes temporarily forgot about Valentine’s Day now, I totally get it. Sometimes you just get so locked in with work, right? Right? Plus, he’ll probably still pull off something lovely and magical for both the Big Game and the Big Romance Day.
