Patrick Mahomes turned down a football-shaped cake offered by Netflix after his team’s win on Christmas Day. During the post-match interview, the 29-year-old had a strange interaction with a journalist who suggested he and teammate Travis Kelce pick up the interesting cake.
On Wednesday, Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers. After the celebratory faceoff, a reporter during the Netflix livestream asked the NFL players to each pick up a cake. “I’d like you to go ahead and pick it up, it’s a little heavy, but you can open it,” she said.
Mahomes and Kelce picked up the football-shaped cupcakes and opened them. “Oh yeah! Look at that. ‘A little red velvet,'” the 35-year-old tight end said before taking a big bite of the dessert. However, the quarterback refrained from eating and awkwardly held pieces of cake in his hands.
Mahomes revealed the reason behind his hesitant behavior, saying: “I’m watching my weight in preparation for the playoffs.” Kelsey agreed with the idea that they would take the cupcakes into their locker room and take pictures. “Coach Reid is ready for it. I’ll take it to him,” Mahomes said of his head coach, Andy Reid.
Kelce, who appeared to be in the holiday spirit, was wearing a Santa hat when he first arrived at the game. It is worth noting that his famous girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was not present. Her absence came as a surprise to both the NFL star and her fans when she stepped out to support her beau during a Christmas game last year.
Despite not attending, the Cruel Summer hitmaker gave a subtle nod to Kelce for breaking the Chiefs’ touchdown record by liking a social media post about his feat. Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, also remained absent as her due date approached. In a recent interview, the midfielder revealed that his pregnant wife will give birth “any day now.”
