The nighttime habit that irritates his wife, Brittany, is revealed by Patrick Mahomes: “Mom Must Get Some Sleep” (Exclusive)

“Whenever you have kids and mom needs her sleep, you have to be great at not making noise in bed,” the quarterback jokes exclusively with PEOPLE. When Patrick Mahomes has a craving for Doritos, he can’t help but dig in — even while lying in bed with his wife Brittany.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 29, tells PEOPLE he’s been a fan of Doritos “ever since I can remember,” and owes up to what Brittany revealed during a September 2023 Instagram Q&A is his “funny habit” of eating them “every night in bed.”

But, the quarterback tells PEOPLE, “It’s not that I eat them in bed” that annoys Brittany. “I think that she just doesn’t like the bag, and because, you know, the bag makes a crunchy noise when she’s sleeping.”

A man of many talents, the three-time Super Bowl winner says he’s learned how to grab a chip without waking his wife — especially now that they’ve just welcomed their third 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 together, Golden Raye Mahomes, on Jan. 13.

“I’ve actually become really good at being able to eat my Doritos without making noise,” says Patrick. “It’s just about the placement of the hand when you’re going in the bag. You’ve got to make sure that you really perfect that.”

The father of three adds, “Whenever you have kids and mom needs her sleep, you have to be great at not making noise in bed.”

Patrick isn’t the only Mahomes reaching for a bag of Doritos. “My kids love them, Bronze especially,” he says. “Every time I open up a bag, he’s asking for chips, chips, chips, so I give him a couple of them. I try to keep them down. I want him to still eat dinner, but he loves his Doritos.”

A lifelong fan of Doritos, Patrick says he was excited to partner up with the snack brand for the return of its iconic Crash the Super Bowl campaign, where fans were participated in the Think You Can Make a Better Ad challenge.

 

Along with his Kansas City teammates Creed Humphrey, Chris Jones and Xavier Worthy, the quarterback watched fan submissions and helped select the top three ads.

The Chiefs players’ reactions and the reveal of the best three submissions will air during the playoffs and Championship games. Once the top 3 Crash the Super Bowl ads are revealed, Doritos fans will have the power to select the winning ad by voting at DoritosCrash.com.

“The fans crushed it,” Patrick says of the submissions. “I mean, every single ad that I saw was funny. They had great special effects, they had great acting, everything you can want in a Super Bowl commercial.”

Mahomes and the Chiefs drew a pair of controversial roughing calls in their win over the Texans on Saturday

Any idea that Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are getting special treatment from officials, at least according to Mike Pereira, is just an “absolute myth.”

Pereira, a longtime NFL official and former vice president of officiating for the league, appeared on The Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday and spoke with Eisen about takes from fans who think that Mahomes and the Chiefs are receiving some sort of special treatment from officials in key games. That take erupted this past weekend when Mahomes drew a controversial unnecessary roughness call in their win over the Houston Texans — which secured a return trip to the AFC championship game.

“It doesn’t resonate with me at all. … The fact that you’re looking out for anyone, any team, any individual is a myth. It is an absolute myth,” Pereira, who is currently working as Fox Sports’ rules analyst, told Eisen on Tuesday. “You don’t have time to react and say, ‘This is Goff, I’m not going to call this because it’s Goff,’ or, ‘This is Mahomes, I’ve got to call this because it’s Mahomes.’”

Mahomes, late in the third quarter Saturday, went to scramble for a first down before giving himself up at the last second. A pair of Texans defenders collided with Mahomes, though he was barely hit. Still, officials awarded Mahomes an unnecessary roughness penalty that kept their drive alive.

Both Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, who were calling the game for ESPN, were livid.

That was one of several instances in that game where the Chiefs seemed to benefit either from a call, or the lack of a call. Will Anderson Jr. got hit with a roughing the passer penalty in the first half after he barely hit Mahomes, and the Chiefs got away with a hip-drop tackle.

“Both of those in my opinion should’ve been passed on,” Pereira said on The Rich Eisen Show. “I understand why they were called because we are in a time of protection of quarterbacks and pretty much everybody, but when the league came out and defended them … that doesn’t mean they want them to be called.”

While the penalties against the Chiefs weren’t as clear cut as they could’ve been, it doesn’t mean much now. Mahomes and the Chiefs still won the game, and will now host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in an attempt to make it back to the Super Bowl and win a third consecutive championship.

And as for fans who think they know how to officiate while sitting at home on the couch with instant replay available to them, Pereira isn’t here for that either.

“It doesn’t bother me because those people who say that don’t know a damn thing about officiating,” Pereira said. “Until you actually put the uniform on, and until you have to make those quick judgments … if you haven’t done it, and you don’t recognize how hard it is in real time and how easy it is in super slow motion, then get out of my train. Get off my train, I mean it.”
