Patrick Mahomes Leaves Terry Bradshaw Biting the Dust as Calls Mount Against Troy Aikman’s Hatred for Chiefs QB
This divisional win has brought a couple of records for Patrick Mahomes this year. One is, according to reporter and producer Nick Jacobs on X, “Patrick Mahomes won his 8th consecutive playoff game passing Troy Aikman, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and John Elway. #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom.” Yes! Mahomes broke a tie with these Hall of Famers and even achieved the third-longest QB winning streak in the playoffs, as per the NFL.
And guess what? Patrick Mahomes’s 7-0 in the divisional round is the most victories ever made in NFL history. So, it’s clear that the Chiefs victory over Houston brought many laurels and historic records for the quarterback. Due to this, many Chiefs’s fans also think that is the reason why Bradshaw supported Houston in the divisional game.
Nevertheless, despite Bradshaw’s unique support for Texans, Patrick Mahomes finished off the matchup with 16 out of 25 attempts for 177 yards and one 1 touchdown. He has now opened up his door for the AFC Championship against the Bills, by defeating Houston with 23-14. But this win for Mahomes didn’t come easily! It came with a lot of controversies regarding the generous officiating.
Of course, it’s not new for Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs, but Troy Aikman’s direct frustration was easily visible on Saturday.
Patrick Mahomes’s fans revealed Troy Aikman’s intentions?
Two consecutive Super Bowls and three in the last five years! This sounds like a great team. But with Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs, they may have now developed a reputation of benefitting from some generous officiating among NFL fans. And that was the same case when the Arrowhead team earned a spot in the AFC Championship on Saturday.
If you have listened to the NFL broadcast on Saturday, you must have heard Troy Aikman’s frustration when Mahomes and the Chiefs were arguably not getting flagged for their plays. For instance, once Aikman noted: “Oh come on! He’s a runner, and I could not disagree with that one more. He barely gets hit. That’s the second penalty now that’s been called against the Texans… They’ve gotta address this in the offseason. You can’t, as a quarterback, run around and play games with defenders and be able to draw a penalty.” Ouch! That was indeed a direct frustration for the quarterback.
Nevertheless, fans of Patrick Mahomes are now taking up the role to reveal Aikman’s arguably real intentions after the Chiefs QB left the former NFLer behind in the postseason record. For example, one social media user said, “This certainly explains Troy being unable to hide his obvious disdain for Mahomes.” In addition, someone else chimed in saying, “That explains why @TroyAikman was whining and crying so much.” Although Aikman’s intentions were just to point out the arguable mistakes by the refs or Mahomes, this frustration ultimately led many to think about his reported personal hate for him.
That’s the reason why others added, “aikman can’t handle it,” and “No wonder Troy was so mad and wanted Mahomes to lose (laughing emoji).” Not only this! One fan even questioned, “Why does Troy hate Patrick so much? He’s such a good dude…” To which, someone else replied, it’s because “he’s jealous” of Patrick Mahomes.
And the reason is obviously the records, stats, and even Aikman’s three Super Bowls, which now many think Mahomes can beat this one too after his 3-peat!
