The Kansas City Chiefs have rapidly become the club that everyone loves to despise, and Patrick Mahomes believes he is prepared to accept that role.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington said on Monday that he recently questioned Mahomes if he believes he has become a villain to other NFL fans. Mahomes claimed he can “definitely sense it” and compared his present circumstance to when the New England Patriots were at their peak of dominance.
However, Mahomes stated that he thinks he and the Chiefs can play the bad guy role in a different way than Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots did.
“I never felt like that because I’ve never been that way in my life. But it’s become a little funny. I do not want to say you enjoy it.

However, most Chiefs critics are simply bored of watching the same team win. You can understand why Mahomes is looking forward to the opportunity to irritate those football fans even more.
