Steve Harvey BREAKS DOWN in Tears Patrick Mahomes Shares Emotional Message On Live TV!
The studio was buzzing with energy, as it always was when Steve Harvey took to the stage. The audience clapped and cheered, their excitement palpable as Steve, with his signature smile and humor, greeted them. “You’re in for something good today!” he said, flashing his trademark grin. He cracked a few light-hearted jokes, read from his cue cards, and introduced the next guest with enthusiasm. Everyone in the room was expecting another fun episode, filled with Hollywood gossip and playful banter.
As the spotlight shifted, the audience’s energy peaked with cheers. Patrick Mahomes, the superstar quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, entered the stage, dressed simply in dark jeans, a black shirt, and a plain blazer. Nothing flashy, just Mahomes himself. The crowd went wild, giving him a standing ovation. He waved and smiled, then took a seat next to Steve, but something was different. The buzz in the air wasn’t the same this time. It wasn’t loud or over the top—it was quieter, more focused. There was a stillness that settled in the room, and it wasn’t just about Mahomes’ fame or accomplishments. It was as if the moment was waiting for something deeper to unfold.
Steve, always the entertainer, did his usual routine of introducing Mahomes with light jokes and anecdotes. He praised him for his football career, but there was an unusual depth in Steve’s voice as he spoke. He didn’t just talk about Mahomes’ Super Bowl wins or his MVP awards. Instead, Steve said something that caught the audience off guard, describing Patrick Mahomes not just as a great athlete but as someone who carried a sense of peace in an otherwise loud and chaotic world. He said Mahomes’ presence spoke volumes, even when he wasn’t saying anything at all.
And then, the moment arrived. It wasn’t planned. Mahomes’ eyes drifted down to the small crucifix hanging around Steve’s neck. His gaze lingered for just a moment, and in that quiet look, everything changed. Mahomes shifted slightly in his seat, his voice steady, but the weight of what he was about to say was palpable. “Can I tell you something I’ve never said out loud before?” he asked.
The room fell silent, phones were put down, and even the camera crew seemed to slow their movements. Steve, caught off guard, paused for a moment, his curiosity piqued. He leaned in a little, sensing that something important was coming.
Steve, who had been on countless talk shows and interviews, wasn’t prepared for what Mahomes was about to reveal. Mahomes began, not with a flashy statement or a joke, but with raw honesty. He spoke about the weight of life, of loss, and the importance of purpose. “You know,” he said, “people always talk about the roles I play in football, but life—life is the real role we all have to learn to carry.” His words were soft, but they carried the kind of truth that immediately grabbed the audience’s attention.
Steve, who had spent decades entertaining and making people laugh, sat back a little. His usual playful demeanor faded as he listened more intently. Mahomes wasn’t here for the jokes. He was here to speak from the heart.
“The thing is,” Mahomes continued, “fame can be a strange thing. People treat me like I’m more than human just because I throw a football, but I’m just a man,” he said, his voice steady. “I’ve lost people I love. I’ve made mistakes. And there are still times when I don’t have all the answers. But what I’ve learned is that it’s important to show up, to keep moving forward, even when you don’t have it all figured out.”
Steve, usually quick with a quip or a joke, fell silent. He could feel the gravity of Mahomes’ words. This wasn’t the typical celebrity interview. This wasn’t about the Super Bowl wins or the endorsement deals. This was a man, sharing his vulnerability and his truth with an audience.
Mahomes went on to share something deeply personal. He spoke about the times when he had been at his lowest, times when he struggled with grief and didn’t know how to process the pain. “There was a time,” he began quietly, “when I couldn’t see any light at all. I was just going through the motions, showing up but not really being there.”
Steve, hearing this, felt a familiar pang of empathy. He reached for the small cross around his neck, subconsciously tightening his grip on it as Mahomes continued.
“I was just sitting in the dark for hours,” Mahomes said, his voice quiet now, almost to himself. “I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t sleeping. I didn’t know why I was still here. Everything felt empty. Not sad—just gone. Like I didn’t exist.”
The room was completely still now. The audience, Steve, the crew—everyone was hanging on every word Mahomes spoke. It was clear that this moment was something far more significant than anything anyone had expected.
Mahomes paused before continuing. “I picked up my phone one night, just scrolling, trying to feel something, anything. And then… I found something that saved me. I found a video of you, Steve.”
Steve blinked, clearly surprised. “What?” he whispered.
“You were talking about pain,” Mahomes said, his voice steady now. “About how God doesn’t waste pain, how we don’t need to hide from it, but walk through it. I was in a dark place, Steve, but when I saw that video, I felt like I wasn’t alone anymore. I got out of bed the next morning. I started to find my way back.”
Steve’s eyes welled up. He reached for his cross again, his hand trembling slightly. He couldn’t speak for a moment. The words Mahomes had shared hit him in a way that was impossible to ignore. He hadn’t known his words had meant so much to someone, especially someone like Mahomes, a person he had looked up to as an athlete and a role model.
“I just want you to know,” Mahomes continued, his voice full of quiet strength, “your words—your truth—it gave me hope when I didn’t think I had any left. And that’s why I’m here today. To thank you.”
Steve’s hand was now over his mouth, struggling to keep it together. The audience was silent, some wiping their eyes, others holding their breath, but everyone was feeling the rawness of the moment. This wasn’t just an interview—it was a connection, a moment of healing.
“I didn’t know you were listening,” Steve said, his voice shaky but full of emotion. “I was just talking, you know, trying to help people get through their own stuff. I didn’t know I was saving anyone.”
Keanu smiled gently. “That’s the thing, Steve. You weren’t trying to save anyone. You were just being real. And that’s why it mattered.”
Steve wiped his eyes, then looked at Mahomes with deep gratitude. “Thank you,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
“You’re welcome,” Mahomes said softly. “I’m glad I could give back a little of what you gave me.”
The two men sat there in silence for a moment, no applause, no flashy gestures—just a quiet exchange between two souls who had experienced pain and found healing in unexpected places.
Finally, Steve turned to the audience, his voice steady but still emotional. “This wasn’t just a show,” he said, “this was a moment. And I think a lot of us needed to hear this.”
In that moment, the studio didn’t feel like a set anymore. It felt like a sacred space where vulnerability, truth, and empathy had found a home. As the cameras rolled, there was no need for jokes, no need for scripts. It was real, and that’s what made it unforgettable.
For Steve Harvey, the moment wasn’t just a breakthrough for Mahomes—it was a breakthrough for himself too. He had shared something of his own life with the world, and in return, he had received something far more valuable than any applause: the understanding that real connection, when it’s needed most, transcends fame, status, and even television.
Patrick Mahomes leads Chiefs back to Super Bowl, says God ‘healed my body this week’
With 17 seconds left and the ball just past midfield in a game tied at 20, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes scrambled to his right. The five yards gained on the play, plus the 15 yards added on for an unnecessary roughness penalty on the Cincinnati Bengals, were just enough to put Chiefs in field-goal range. Harrison Butker then nailed the 45-yard kick — sending the Chiefs to Super Bowl LVII.
That Mahomes ran with the ball isn’t particularly surprising; his 358 rushing yards in the regular season were the ninth-most among quarterbacks. But after suffering a high ankle sprain last week against Jacksonville, his mobility on Sunday was limited.
In that moment, it didn’t matter. Mahomes said after the game that sometimes “you gotta just put it all on the line.” On the bum ankle, he finished with 326 passing yards, two touchdown passes, no interceptions and three rushes for eight yards, including those crucial last five.
After the game, Mahomes also said God gave him the strength to play.
“I wanna thank God, man. He healed my body this week,” he told CBS’s Tracy Wolfson. “To battle through that, He gave me the strength to be out here.”
Winning the AFC championship puts Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the third time in the past four years. Sunday marked the fifth consecutive conference title game the Chiefs hosted. They were beaten in that game last year by the Bengals, who had defeated Kansas City three straight times heading into Sunday.
But the Chiefs’ 23-20 victory sends them to Super Bowl LVII, where they’ll face the Philadelphia Eagles, who took down the San Francisco 49ers earlier Sunday.
To win the franchise’s third Super Bowl, the Chiefs will, as usual, rely heavily on Mahomes, who is a leading candidate for the 2022 NFL MVP award. He led the league in passing yards (5,250, a career high) and touchdown passes (41) this year.
The last time the Chiefs advanced to the Super Bowl, they fell to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-9, in February 2021. Before that matchup, Sports Spectrum asked Mahomes about his faith in God and how it guides him.
“It guides you as you know why you’re playing the game,” he said. “You know that obviously you want to win, but at the end of the day you’re doing it for something that’s much bigger than yourself, and you’re trying to represent something that’s much bigger than yourself. I think having that confidence and having that trust lets you go out there and be who you are and play freely.”
The culture within the Chiefs organization allows players to freely express their faith, starting with CEO/owner Clark Hunt. Some players have even attributed part of that culture to Mahomes.
“When the main guy, Pat Mahomes, is a huge follower in Christ, it’s easy to be a follower as well,” running back Darwin Thompson, a former Chief, told Sports Spectrum in 2020.
“My mom and dad both raised me in the church,” Mahomes said earlier in 2020 in a video for Fellowship of Christian Athletes. “Just being able to come up through the church, I built a great relationship with God and I’ve tried to keep that as I’ve gotten older. Faith is huge for me.”
Amidst all the success during his first six years in the NFL, Mahomes aims to glorify God in his actions.
“Before every game, I walk the field and I do a prayer at the goalpost. I just thank God for those opportunities and I thank God for letting me be on a stage where I can glorify Him,” Mahomes said in the FCA video. “The biggest thing that I pray for is that whatever happens, win or lose, success or failure, that I’m glorifying Him.”
