On a quiet Sunday afternoon in Kansas City, far from the roar of Arrowhead Stadium, Patrick Mahomes is engaged in a different kind of game – one of bedtime stories and goodnight kisses. It’s a moment that speaks volumes about the Mahomes family dynamics. While Patrick can dissect defenses with ease, his family playbook seems to be a bit more complex. Between his silent stance on his father’s social media and his mother’s beaming pride, the story unfolds filled with heartwarming moments.

It is no surprise that Randi Mahomes often shares adorable stories from the Mahomes household. This time, the Chiefs‘ star QB’s mom spilled the beans on “The Mom Game” podcast, sharing a heartwarming Mother’s Day memory. “He came in for Mother’s Day in DFW and we spent the day,” she revealed, her voice brimming with pride. But it wasn’t just the visit that scored big points with Mama Mahomes. As the day wound down, Randi overheard a conversation that hit her right in the feels.

Patrick told one of his siblings, “I’m staying till I put my kids to sleep.” For Randi, this moment was better than any Super Bowl ring. “I don’t even think he knows it, but that meant so much to me,” she gushed. It’s clear that in the Mahomes family playbook, actions speak louder than words – especially when those actions involve tucking in the little ones.

Adding to that, Brittany Mahomes dubbed her husband the “MVP Dad” in a heartfelt Instagram tribute on Father’s Day. “Bronze and Ster are obsessed with you, and well, I am too,” she wrote, showcasing a highlight reel of family moments that would make any sports network jealous. Patrick’s parenting playbook has some pages straight from Randi’s coaching manual.  “I’m most proud of him being a father and what I wanted him to be.” Randi Mahomes beamed.

There is no doubt that the Super Bowl MVP treasures his family.“If the game takes away from my kids, I might not play as long as Tom Brady,” Patrick said to TIME Magazine in April., proving he’s ready to trade in two-minute drills for bedtime stories. However, while he is quite vocal about his love for his little family, mom and siblings, a no-answer on Father’s Day to Patrick Mahomes Sr from the QB’s side seemed out of character for the otherwise ever-loving Mahomes.

In a move that raised more eyebrows, the Chiefs QB seemed to call an audible on his dad’s Father’s Day tribute. While many across the planet celebrated this occasion, it was no surprise to see the Mahomes clan come forth with their small wishes. Brittany Mahomes shared a wholesome post praising Patrick as a father and husband. The comment section was soon filled with love and good wishes for the family of four.

However, Brittany wasn’t the only one who thought that Mahomes was an amazing dad. Patrick’s father Mahomes Sr. also shared a series of pictures of his son and grandkids. Along with the carousel of clicks, he also wrote, “Happy Father’s Day.” But, Patrick Mahomes did not appear to acknowledge the post and it was quite evident from the lack of story or any comment under the post.

Nonetheless, the father-son duo have rarely ever showcased their appreciation and bonding. The last time the two were seen together was during the mega football finale, the Super Bowl, where the Chiefs overshadowed the 49ers 25-22. The two hugged each other in Las Vegas and Mahomes Sr. couldn’t have been more proud of his son.
