When you’re as famous and sound as unique as Patrick Mahomes, people tend to do impressions of you. Well, Chris Collinsworth was the latest to try that “Kermit the Frog voice” impersonation. On a live broadcast, that too.

Of course, that’s not to take away from the accolades that Mahomes has managed to achieve in recent times. He’s won multiple Super Bowls, a pair of regular-season MVP awards, and thanks to an early touchdown pass against the Detroit Lions in Week 6, he’s now the fastest player in NFL history to record 300 passing scores.
There’s a lot to celebrate when it comes to the pride and joy of the Kansas City Chiefs. However, it’s Collinsworth’s horrendous impression of him, rather than his accolades, that has been dominating social media on Sunday night.
In the midst of the broadcast celebrating the latest face of the National Football League, Collinsworth just couldn’t help but try to impersonate the Chiefs’ QB1. The only problem is that he clearly didn’t practice it beforehand, leaving everyone at home to wonder why he even bothered to attempt it in the first place.
Thankfully, Collinsworth was able to save himself by offering up a glowing review of Mahomes’ career and character.

“He has been the face of the league,” Collinsworth added. “And what a good one he is. He’s the guy that you would want standing up and saying, ‘Alright, here’s the shield, here’s our best player, now let’s go to work.’”
Given the result of the prime time match-up, you’d be hard-pressed to argue against that assessment. The Chiefs headed into the locker room with a narrow three-point lead at halftime. But Mahomes and co. would explode out of the gates in the second half.
The star signal caller was able to connect with Hollywood Brown on a nine-yard touchdown pass on their opening drive of the third quarter. There was no looking back from then on. Considering that this Sunday night match-up still has the potential to be a Super Bowl preview, the result certainly bodes well for Kansas City, which has had anything but a stellar start to the season.
That said, no one is allowed to rest on their laurels for long in the NFL. Now that they’ve managed to get themselves back to a .500 record, the Chiefs will begin to prepare for a Week 7 divisional matchup against the ever-retooling Las Vegas Raiders.
Las Vegas has yet to put up much of a fight against anyone this year. So the Chiefs will likely have a winning record come this time next week.
Until then, however, Kansas City’s fan base will be able to continue rejoicing in the fact that they have one of the most successful quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL to lead their side.
