Patrick Mahomes is not happy about the Kansas City Chiefs’ brutal schedule.

It’s not the opponents but rather the short time period.

For as much as the NFL preaches about valuing player safety, the schedule the league threw together for certain teams might cause a lot of injuries.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ schedule is brutal, as they will play their next three games in 11 days.

Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t hold back when asked about the scheduling.

Mahomes isn’t upset about playing on Christmas as the team hopes to redeem themselves from last year, but he made it clear that “It is not a good feeling.”

“I’m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year, but you never want to play this many games in this short of time. It’s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it’s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.”

The Chiefs head to Cleveland for this Sunday’s game against the Browns, then return to Arrowhead for a Saturday home game against the Texans, and then head to Pittsburgh for a Christmas Day game against the Steelers.

Unfortunately for Patrick Mahomes, there weren’t too many people who cared to hear him complain.

“Does he get paid to play,” asked a fan. “He needs to shut his face!”

“You make millions. Suck it up,” wrote another.

“You’re a highly paid professional. Suck it up buttercup,” wrote another.

Another fan told him not to worry since the refs would be on his side: “Don’t worry, the refs will give you those games anyway.”

“He has a 400 million dollar contract he will be fine,” posted a fan.

“Try working 12 hr shifts every day for 37 days straight, then come cry to me,” wrote one final fan about Patrick Mahomes’ complaints.

Patrick Mahomes Are Riding High, But Next Stretch Of Games Are Pivotal

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are 12-1 through the first 14 weeks of the 2024 NFL season.

They have already claimed first place in the AFC West and clinching a playoff berth for the 10th year in a row.

In Weeks 15, 16, and 17, the Chiefs will play three games over an 11-day span.

The top seed in the AFC has not been secured, so the next few games will prove to be pivotal.

What is it with these serial winners? They have a knack for winning, and the thing they are good at, they are a machine in it. Take Patrick Mahomes for example. When he needs to prove it, he becomes like a one-man savior for the Chiefs – 7 game-winning drives and responsible for five 4th-quarter comebacks in the 2024-25 season. He can just feel when the win is up for grabs.ư

And an apex predator like him doesn’t give charity wins, even for his close ones. In response to his Instagram post on Feb 2 where he tells about his ping-pong talents, Mahomes’s wife, Brittany, commented, “But good thing I can beat you at ping-pong🙂.” To which the defending back-to-back Super Bowl MVP replied, “No chance🤣”. Come on, Mahomes—no need to be blunt about it. But people like him have a saying – Not arrogant, just better.

Do Mr. and Mrs. Mahomes have ping-pong spurring sessions at home? Seems like they need to settle this with a Patrick vs Brittany game. The winner gets bragging rights on Instagram. Weirdly enough, we can’t bet against Patrick, can we? We have seen him on the gridiron. Brittany better have some skills we don’t know about.

We believe that a chiseled torso and a low body fat percentage directly relate to an athlete’s success. Prime example – Cristiano Ronaldo and Novak Djokovic. They are like our go-to examples when we think of the best athletes. But Mahomes’s trainer, Bobby Stroupe, says that thought process is flawed. For him, dad-bod features are what make Mahomes such a good QB.

While working with major league pitchers, Stroupe saw athletes with more body fat and mass were better throwers of the ball. What is a QB required to do? Throw to his wide receivers and tight ends. And we don’t have to tell you what a bullet throw Patrick Mahomes has.

A pitching instructor, Ben Brewster, who sees a similarity between pitchers and quarterbacks as far as throwing is concerned, also sees how the dad bod physique enhances throwing velocity: “If they feel better being 20 percent body fat, there’s no reason they have to be 10 percent body fat.” Definitely, it depends on how they feel about themselves.

Apart from this, according to Stroupe, Mahomes also has a special ability to read momentum and space, which helps him judge the speed and movement of himself and his opponents.

Take all this together, he is just built to be a champion quarterback. And yes, give the credit to the ‘dad bod’. That’s taken him to the footsteps of a never-before-done 3-peat.
