Breaking News: Brittany Mahomes Posts Strong Message After Chiefs Defeat Bills
The Kansas City Chiefs faced the Buffalo Bills as underdogs in the AFC Divisional round, with uncertainty surrounding quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ performance in his inaugural career road playoff game. On January 18, Bills Pro Bowl tackle Dion Dawkins expressed skepticism about Mahomes’ ability to handle the Bills Mafia crowd at Highmark Stadium. Dawkins remarked to reporters, “The environment will be different, and not to say it’s in our favor, but the stadium is our favor. It’s cool. So good luck.”
These comments served as bulletin board material for Mahomes. Following the Chiefs’ 27-24 victory over the Bills, Mahomes took to Instagram, posting a photo from the game with the caption, “Good luck ⏰.” The quarterback’s response subtly emphasized the outcome and seemingly contradicted Dawkins’ earlier sentiments.
The quarterback’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, commented, “MY BOYYYYYYYY🔥.” She reposted her husband’s post on her Instagram Stories and wrote, “We love the caption.”

Brittany continued to exude positive energy on social media, sharing a photo featuring herself alongside Taylor Swift (girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce), Kylie Kelce (wife of Jason Kelce), Lyndsay Bell (wife of tight end Blake Bell), model Cara Delevingne, and other friends. The co-owner of the KC Current captioned the photo with, “Went there, did that, onto the next.”
Looking ahead, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to travel to M&T Bank Stadium for the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, January 28. Despite their recent successes, the Chiefs are considered 3.5-point underdogs in this upcoming matchup.
The showdown between the Chiefs and Ravens is anticipated to be another intense and closely contested game. The Ravens, led by quarterback Lamar Jackson, convincingly defeated the Houston Texans 34-10 in the Divisional round, setting the stage for an exciting AFC Championship clash.
Brittany Celebrated Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes & TE Travis Kelce Making NFL History
On Monday, January 22, Brittany celebrated her husband and Travis Kelce’s remarkable achievement by sharing a post from the NFL’s Instagram page. Despite a seven-game touchdown drought for the All-Pro tight end, the Mahomes-Kelce connection flourished in the game against the Bills. In the second quarter, Kelce made a spectacular 22-yard touchdown catch.
Maintaining a three-point lead in the third quarter, Mahomes connected with Kelce for another touchdown, this time a short 3-yard pass. This score propelled Mahomes and Kelce to the record for the most postseason touchdowns (16) by a quarterback-receiver duo, surpassing the legendary combination of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.

Kelce exhibited visible excitement after both scoring plays. Notably, going seven games without a touchdown marked the second-longest drought of his career, according to NFL.com.
Acknowledging the accomplishment, Tom Brady, a future Hall of Fame quarterback, praised Mahomes and Kelce on X (formerly known as Twitter), stating, “BEASTS. When you one up Gronk, you’re doing something right.” Brady’s comment recognized the duo’s impressive achievement in surpassing the records set by himself and Gronkowski.
