Patrick Mahomes isn’t one to shy away from channeling his inner fan. Whether it is to support his favorite NBA team, the Dallas Mavericks, or root for his former college team, Texas Tech, the quarterback proudly announces his admiration.

His latest post on X (formally Twitter) is just another indication of this. After Texas Tech’s close 23-22 victory against the Iowa State Cyclones, the Kansas City Chiefs QB made a six-word admission and wrote:
“Bro, being a fan is hard #WreckEm”
The game was indeed a thriller. In the remaining 19 seconds, Behren Morton ensured a 71-yard winning touchdown and handed over the Cyclones a heartbreaking defeat. This allowed the Red Raiders to achieve bowl eligibility for a fourth straight year.
Astonishingly, fans flocked to Mahomes‘ social media posts with their grievances. They noted that what the quarterback was experiencing has been their story as the Chiefs’ fans this season.
Imagine the stress we go through every Sunday during close games because you have to keep it interesting .

Despite a phenomenal 7-0 record until now, the Red Army has had close games this season. Their highest margin was 13 points during the New Orleans Saints clash.
Even though Derek Carr registered 2 TDs, the Chiefs ultimately took the 26-13 victory home. A couple of fans acknowledged the stress of these close games.
Every Chiefs fan says this

One of the Dallas fans also found recognition in Mahomes’ words and wrote:
EVERY DALLAS COWBOYS FAN SAYS THIS

Against the Burrow-led Bengals, Harrison Butker came out as the ultimate hero with that field goal in the remaining seconds. It allowed the KC Chiefs to gain a 26-25 victory over Cincinnati.
Not only that, even against the Chargers, it was in the last quarter that the Chiefs scored a touchdown to get a win. It remains to be seen how the Mahomes-led team will perform on Monday against the dominant offense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fans will surely be on the edge of their seats as Baker Mayfield will clash with Patrick Mahomes to probably bring back the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma clash from 2016.
