Patrick Mahomes is taking much-needed respite before the playoffs, getting ready for the greater stage to perform well for the same. Amidst the scenes of enthusiasm and excitement from the star, even his brother Jackson Mahomes came forth to join the QB sending a message across to the social media doubters.

Mahomes shared the powerful video with his alleged favorite ticking clock emoticon caption, giving a probable hint that he is doing the countdown for the playoffs. As the video shows utter aggression from the QB, his brother Jackson Mahomes could not hold back from joining him in the readiness for the forthcoming game, commenting 2 fire emoticons under his post.
During the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend, the Chiefs (number 3 seed) will host the No. 6 seed at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. How do you think matters will turn out for the KC team? Well, only the future can tell that! For the time being, he has been given a long rest before taking on the field during the bigger stage once again.
Patrick Mahomes played his final regular game of the 2023 season!
The Week 18 matchup at Los Angeles on January 4 will feature the backup quarterbacks for both teams. Patrick Mahomes won’t play in Sunday’s game as he has been given a rest from coach Andy Reid for two reasons. One is to allow him some good time to prepare for the playoffs, and the second is to prevent him from any potential injuries in the last matchup. So, his last regular season game of 2023 was over on December 31.
In place of Mahomes, his backup Blaine Gabbert will start the game at SoFi stadium. Reid in a recent interview said, “…..we’ll rotate the other guys in as we go,” hinting that some reserved players will also get the chance to play the final game. On the side of the Chargers, backup QB Easton Stick will start the game as Justin Herbert is out of the season.
Patrick Mahomes, looking from the video as well, seems to have his mind all set on the upcoming playoffs season. Would the QB be able to take the positives forward into the crucial stage of the league? Let us know your thoughts below!
