A legion of Chiefs fans is expected to attend the Chiefs Super Bowl celebrations in the city. Courtesy of a late fourth-quarter blitz from the Chiefs, Andy Reid’s men overturned yet another double-digit deficit to steal victory from the jaws of defeat at Super Bowl LIV. Indeed, those whose job it is to monitor the surges and shortages of the national grid may have noticed a greater spike in activity in Kansas City following the win. Among the crowd of fans who suited up in Chiefs colours to support Patrick Mahomes and co were Patrick Mahomes’ pitbulls, Steel and Silver Mahomes.

Ahead of Super Bowl LIV, a picture of Patrick Mahomes’ pitbulls - Steel and Silver Mahomes - surfaced at the Hard Rock Stadium. The picture showed Patrick Mahomes’ dogs wearing the eventual Super Bowl LIV MVP’s No. 15 jersey. The caption, in turn, read “Dad & his team are SUPERBOWL CHAMPSSSS!!!”
Interestingly, a newspaper based in Kansas City revealed that Patrick Mahomes wasn’t the biggest fan of dogs prior to bringing their first pitbull Steel Mahomes home. Patrick Mahomes told the newspaper that he was afraid of dogs until high school. However, bringing Steel home changed his mind, which then led to the decision to get a second dog, Silver Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs have seemingly become accustomed to remarkable turnarounds. The 31-20 win at Super Bowl LIV against San Francisco 49ers capped off a third consecutive postseason comeback win for the Chiefs. Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes was at the centre of all of those wins. While Super Bowl LIV wasn’t Patrick Mahomes’ best game this season, the fact that he led the Chiefs back from the brink of defeat has done wonders for his reputation, a feat that seemed nigh impossible, courtesy of his impressive regular season. The Chiefs star is now being viewed as a generational quarterback of the Tom Brady mould.
