A lot of famous athletes have annoying relatives. There is always an uncle, an aunt, a girlfriend, or a brother always at the ready to mess things up for the player. It seems Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes might just have a similar problem at hand. For those who follow the NFL even remotely, you know who it is. None other than his brother, Jackson Mahomes.

Jackson Mahomes is infamous for two things in the NFL community: his cringy TikTok videos, and his affinity for controversial actions. What’s more, fans think his presence might just be affecting the Chiefs’ signal caller, and predictions about this favoring the Bengals have risen exponentially. Can the speculation have any basis?
The first thing to note is that Mahomes does not seem to be a fan of his brother’s antics on TikTok. While his wife Brittany Mahomes seems happy enough to indulge in young Jackson’s games, Patrick Mahomes wants no part it in. Multiple reels show Mahomes thoroughly tired of the antics unfolding in front of him. However, that is not all the potential proof in front of us.

Jackson Mahomes was absent from his usual tomfoolery for quite a while this season. While many were just purely thankful for the turn of events, some did wonder why such an unprecedented move even happened. The result of the investigation was quickly put forward: an icy moment between the Mahomes Brothers on the field.
Patrick Mahomes needs to be at his best come Championship game day
Jackson Mahomes’ return was marked by another horrid news. Reportedly, Patrick Mahomes suffered an ankle injury during their win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It did not take long for fans to blame the injury on his brother’s appearance in the game. Many also wonder if this will continue to affect Patrick Mahomes on January 30.
The Chiefs will want their star signal caller at his best when they face the Cincinnati Bengals next week. Having lost to them 3 previous times already, the Chiefs need a win to save face. Especially after being declared favorites to win the Super Bowl, a loss could be devastating to their morale.
A win will not be an easy task, however. The Bengals are riding high after their victory over the no.2 seed in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills. It very much seems like the Bengals are out for blood, and are desperate to get their hands on the Super Bowl trophy. The Chiefs are just another thorn in the way for them. Will the Chiefs lose yet again to the prancing tigers? Or will they be the ones that hunt this big cat too?
