This is what it all comes down to for the Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL juggernaut is a mere three wins away from a third consecutive Super Bowl championship, an accomplishment that the league has never seen before. But for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the number three has taken on a special significance this January.
That is because Patrick’s wife, the entrepreneur and former soccer player Brittany Mahomes, is set to give birth to the couple’s third child, a new sibling for daughter Sterling and son Bronze. But Brittany’s due date has been the source of some mystery, and a new revelation could impact Patrick’s pursuit of history in Kansas City.
Baby #3 is expected during the bye!
The Chiefs earned the #1 seed in the AFC this season with their 15-2 record, tied with the Detroit Lions for the NFL’s best. This development means Kansas City will get to rest during the upcoming wild-card round, and they will take on the lowest-seeded team remaining in the divisional round in two weeks’ time.
As it happens, Brittany’s due date is this upcoming weekend, during the wild-card round — which is another good bit of fortune for a Chiefs team that has seen quite a bit of it during the 2024 season. The birth of his third child during his team’s bye week — some expected Brittany to give birth before the playoffs — will allow Patrick to focus on family for a while, and then back to football.

The surprising news about Brittany will boost Kansas City’s hunt for another ring — and a chance for Patrick to enhance his growing playoff legacy. Mahomes has an impressive 15-3 record in the postseason, throwing 46 touchdowns to eight interceptions in a career that has seen him the Super Bowl three times — and the Super Bowl MVP award three times.
