Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has found himself at the center of controversy after a tweet from his account appeared to troll the Buffalo Bills. However, Mahomes Sr. has since denied any involvement, claiming that his account was hacked.
The tweet in question, which read “Today is a great day to not be from Buffalo,” was posted after the Chiefs secured their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. The message drew a swift and angry response from Bills fans, who have endured a string of heartbreaking postseason losses to the Chiefs in recent years.
In an effort to diffuse the situation, Mahomes Sr. took to Instagram to issue a statement denying any involvement in the tweet. “Patrick Mahomes Sr.’s X account has been compromised,” the statement read. “The Mahomes family holds the utmost respect for the @BuffanloBills organization and the #BillsMafia fan base.”
While the explanation may have come as a relief to some, many fans remain skeptical. The timing and tone of the tweet seemed all too convenient, and some have questioned whether Mahomes Sr. is simply trying to avoid backlash.
Regardless of the truth behind the tweet, one thing is certain: Patrick Mahomes Sr. will be watching with pride as his son takes to the field for Super Bowl LVIII. The Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans on February 9, with Mahomes looking to lead his team to an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title.
As the big game approaches, fans and pundits alike will be keeping a close eye on the Mahomes family. While Patrick Mahomes Sr. may have dodged a bullet with his hacked tweet explanation, the real focus will be on his son’s quest for history on the gridiron.
