The Kansas City Chiefs have locked out a postseason advantage that most teams dream about, much like they did last year: a top seed in the AFC. The Chiefs secured their bye and guaranteed homefield with a 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in Week 17. Although it may be the last game of the season, this extra time to prepare for the playoffs will benefit players like Patrick Mahomes, who currently faces enormous pressure to guide his team to a third straight Super Bowl while also dealing with exciting life changes.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is reaping the benefits of Andy Reid’s strategic decision to rest most starters in the Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos. This move effectively granted Mahomes two weeks of recovery before their playoff run begins. However, the Chiefs’ trip to Denver wasn’t without drama. A severe winter storm forced the team to stay overnight, leaving Mahomes understandably anxious as his wife, Brittany Mahomes, was nearing her due date.
CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson captured the sentiment, sharing on January 6, “No one happier to get back to KC than Patrick Mahomes. He told me his wife Brittany is due to give birth to their 3rd child on Sunday. If she doesn’t give birth by then she will be induced Monday. There was def extra motivation for Patrick to get that bye week!”
Despite being just days away from delivering their third child, Brittany proved her resilience and dedication to fitness. Her trainer, Kirsty Rae, shared a video of Brittany performing weighted squats. She captioned the post, “baddie mama @brittany lynne.”
Rae noted that this isn’t for everyone so soon before their due date. “When done safely, strength training during pregnancy is one of the most powerful things you can do.”

The Mahomes family already have two children, Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, 2, alongside their two dogs, Silver and Steele. Fans are speculating whether their third child’s name will follow the metallic theme, with “Goldie” being a popular guess.
While Patrick is focused on leading the Chiefs in their quest for a historic Super Bowl three-peat, Brittany has been actively raising awareness about relief efforts for those affected by wildfires in Los Angeles. Through her Instagram stories, she shared information on organizations working to provide aid, encouraging others to contribute.

The wildfires have also impacted the NFL, causing the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings Wild Card game to relocate from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles to Arizona.
As the Chiefs prepare for their postseason campaign, Mahomes remains driven, not just by football but also by the joy of expanding his family. If all goes as planned, he may soon celebrate becoming a father of three while leading his team to another Super Bowl victory.
