Patrick Mahomes is not happy about the Kansas City Chiefs’ brutal schedule.
It’s not the opponents but rather the short time period.
For as much as the NFL preaches about valuing player safety, the schedule the league threw together for certain teams might cause a lot of injuries.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ schedule is brutal, as they will play their next three games in 11 days.
Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t hold back when asked about the scheduling.
Mahomes isn’t upset about playing on Christmas as the team hopes to redeem themselves from last year, but he made it clear that “It is not a good feeling.”
“I’m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year, but you never want to play this many games in this short of time. It’s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it’s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.”

The Chiefs head to Cleveland for this Sunday’s game against the Browns, then return to Arrowhead for a Saturday home game against the Texans, and then head to Pittsburgh for a Christmas Day game against the Steelers.
Unfortunately for Patrick Mahomes, there weren’t too many people who cared to hear him complain.
“Does he get paid to play,” asked a fan. “He needs to shut his face!”
“You make millions. Suck it up,” wrote another.
“You’re a highly paid professional. Suck it up buttercup,” wrote another.

Another fan told him not to worry since the refs would be on his side: “Don’t worry, the refs will give you those games anyway.”
“He has a 400 million dollar contract he will be fine,” posted a fan.
“Try working 12 hr shifts every day for 37 days straight, then come cry to me,” wrote one final fan about Patrick Mahomes’ complaints.

Patrick Mahomes Are Riding High, But Next Stretch Of Games Are Pivotal
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are 12-1 through the first 14 weeks of the 2024 NFL season.

In Weeks 15, 16, and 17, the Chiefs will play three games over an 11-day span.
The top seed in the AFC has not been secured, so the next few games will prove to be pivotal.
PHOTOS: The Entire Internet Is Freaking Out After Learning That Patrick Mahomes’ College Football Doppelganger, Dylan Raiola, Has A Younger Brother Who Looks Exactly Like A Certain Someone

Everyone had the same observation and resulting joke after finding out Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has a younger brother.
Said sibling is in the news this week, having committed to the Cornhuskers himself, and is expected to be part of the program’s 2026 recruitment class.
Dayton Railoa announced his commitment on Sunday night. He replaced his older brother as the starting QB at Georgia’s Buford High School following his departure for college and has led them to four wins from their first five outings.
Dayton’s commitment makes him the newest Raiola to be associated with the Huskers.
The boys’ father, Dominic Raiola, played for the school from 1997-2000 before going on to spend 14 years with the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
Their uncle, Donovan Raiola, is the current offensive line coach at Nebraska.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this is Dayton’s uncanny resemblance to Jackson Mahomes. The observation comes amid widespread talk of Dylan’s similar appearance to Patrick Mahomes, which he’s leaned into by dressing and styling his hair like the Kansas City Chiefs QB.

“We DONT need another Jackson Mahomes 😭,” someone wrote.
“Sucks to be the one like Jackson Mahomes,” another said.
“What kinda sick simulation are we in,” said a third.
“Does he also do things that are legally and morally wrong and the family sweeps under the rug?” a fourth asked.
Well, life can be crazy like that…
But, the way fans see it, it’s okay to look like Jackson Mahomes as long as you don’t act like Jackson Mahomes.
Dylan Raiola’s little brother is already way ahead in that regard, given that he’s a quarterback.
