Brittany Mahomes has often been vocal about her support for her husband and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
While the Chiefs quarterback is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s premier talents, Kansas City’s uneven performance this season has raised questions about the team’s postseason viability.
The Chiefs have advanced to four of the last five Super Bowls, but have a 6-6 record heading into a critical Week 14 matchup with the Houston Texans. A loss Sunday night could deal a major blow to the Chiefs’ playoff hopes.

However, if the Chiefs manage to defeat the Texans, it would significantly boost their playoff odds.

The uncertainty surrounding the usually perennial playoff team has also sparked some talk about Mahomes’ performance so far in 2025. However, two-time NBA Finals champion Kevin Durant fired back at anyone who might decide to criticize Mahomes’ football skills.

“What kind of question is that? It makes no sense at all. If anybody questions Pat Mahomes’ legacy from a one-off year, he can miss the playoffs for the rest of his career, I don’t care,” Durant said during a recent appearance on “Up & Adams.”
“This man is Patrick Mahomes. When he gets out there, how many championships did he get? Three? Like, come on. Are we going to question Pat Mahomes, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce? He’s still an all-time great, potentially the greatest of all time.”

A clip of Durant’s comments was later shared to the show’s Instagram account and drew a comment from Brittany. “Let them know,” she wrote.
CJ Stroud returned to the Texans’ lineup for a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
The Chiefs-Texans game starts at 8:20 PM ET.
