Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has addressed allegations that the NFL playoffs are being “rigged” in favor of the Chiefs. In response to these claims circulating on social media, Brittany shared a message from longtime Chiefs radio host Mitch Holthus on her Instagram story, aiming to counter the “false narratives” surrounding the team’s recent successes.
The Chiefs are preparing for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, set to face the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Their journey to the Super Bowl has been marked by contentious officiating decisions in games against the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans, leading some fans to accuse the NFL of bias toward the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes has also addressed these allegations, stating that he is not surprised by the criticism and expressing his belief that referees strive to make the correct calls.
The Chiefs’ upcoming matchup against the Eagles presents an opportunity for the team to achieve a historic “three-peat,” further intensifying the scrutiny and discussions surrounding their playoff run.
