Patrick Mahomes Reacts to Hitting Chiefs Teammate During Pass Mishap

Patrick Mahomes Says ACL Injury May Impact the Rest of His Career Patrick Mahomes really fumbled this one. The 30-year-old had a bit of a slip up while practicing at the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp on Aug. 1. While attempting to throw the football to wide receiver Andrew Armstrong, the quarterback hit offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad in the back of the head. While he received some criticism after a video of the incident went viral on social media, Mahomes took the feedback on the chin, jokingly comparing his arm to one of the clumsy players from 2004’s The Longest Yard. Posting a gif from the film—taken from the scene in which Brucie (Nicholas Turturro) fumbles a pass to Paul Crew (Adam Sandler)—Mahomes quoted, “It slipped. I just ate popcorn.” Indeed, Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs are easing back into training after an eventful off-season. After all, they were in attendance as star tight end Travis Kelce tied the knot with Taylor Swift at a massive star-studded wedding in Madison Square Garden on July 3. Plus, the father of three—he shares Sterling, 5, Bronze, 3, and Golden, 18 months, with wife Brittany Mahomes—is still easing back into football after suffering an ACL tear last December, ending his last season early. “The process isn’t over,” Mahomes shared with reporters on July 24 during training camp, per ESPN. “It’ll be something I’ll probably be dealing with the next few years of my career and throughout the rest of my career.”Emily Curiel/Kansas City Star/Tribune News Service via Getty ImagesAnd his wife has supported him every step of the way, expressing her excitement over his return to the field. “Seeing him back doing what he loves,” Brittany wrote in a July 25 Instagram Story alongside a reshared video of the NFL pro heading to training camp. “So thankful.” While the couple navigate the quarterback’s comeback, read on to see all of the times they’ve supported each other throughout the years…Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesBiggest CheerleadersPatrick Mahomes received a fist bump from his son Patrick "Bronze" as wife Brittany Mahomes and daughter Sterling Skye looked on during a Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game in November 2024.Instagram/Brittany MahomesWild About YouBrittany and Patrick dressed up with their kids on Halloween 2024.Brittany Mahomes/InstagramHola, Mahomes!The family took a trip to Spain in June 2024.Instagram / Brittany MahomesBest Team EverBrittany shared this family pic featuring Patrick and their kids on Mother's Day 2024.Instagram / Brittany MahomesDaddy & DaughterPatrick held daughter Sterling in this Mother's Day pic Brittany posted in 2024.Instagram / Brittany MahomesHuddle UpBrittany snuggled with Sterling and Bronze in the family's living room in March 2024.Instagram / Brittany MahomesBonus Points for Mum & DadPatrick and Brittany brought their kids Sterling and Bronze to meet Bluey at the Bluey Big Play Show in March 2024.Brittany Mahomes/InstagramSun, Sand and Family TimeBrittany shared this pic of Patrick with their kids Sterling and Bronze in March 2024.Instagram / Betina Gozo ShimonekHappy Birthday, SterlingSterling rang in her third birthday at a backyard party in February 2024.Erick W.
