“Patrick mahomes has been spoiler rotten by Andy Reid”: Skip Bayless believes that Chiefs star qb is becoming the victim of his inflated ego

In a stunning loss to the Bengals, Patrick Mahomes short but stellar legacy took a major hit. And Skip Bayless says that he never believed in the Super Bowl champ.

Mahomes and the Chiefs were heavy favourites to reach their 3rd consecutive Super Bowl. But a 2nd half collapse for the ages saw Joe Burrow and the Bengals match the biggest comeback in championship history and remarkably make the Super Bowl in only his 2nd season in the league.

The Chiefs fell 27-24 in overtime despite being up 21-3 at one point in the game. After a nearly flawless first half in which he went 18 of 22 for 220 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, Mahomes looked like a different player in the 2nd half.

With a record of 9 touchdowns and no picks in his previous 3 AFC championship games, Mahomes dropped back 24 times after halftime, completing just 8 of 18 passes for 55 yards with two interceptions, four sacks, and no touchdowns.

And despite leading the Chiefs to 4 straight AFC championship games, Skip Bayless believes Patrick Mahomes is very overrated.

Skip Bayless slammed “spoiled” Patrick Mahomes

On the 4th episode of the Skip Bayless Show, Bayless destroyed the former MVP.

“He has gotten away with spectacular gambles that have this year, for the first time, started to backfire on him.”

“I can get away with it because my coach loves me, my coach blesses me. My coach spoils me. My coach loves this because his coach, Andy Reid, loves to polish his own ego by playing with his toy that he went up in the draft to snatch.”

“Are you sure about Patrick Mahomes because I’m not. Has he been spoiled rotten by a head coach who has a much bigger ego than people give it credit for?”

“Patrick has gotten way too full of himself too soon.
