When it comes to off-season plays, the Mahomes family is running a tight end around the ordinary. The NFL’s golden boy, Patrick Mahomes, and his squad are showing that they can score big off the field too, with a vacation that’s more exciting than a last-minute touchdown drive.

Brittany Mahomes, the quarterback’s better half, shared some Instagram stories today that had fans more riveted than a fourth-and-goal situation. Picture this: Brittany, decked out in a cute white top and red mini skirt, standing cool as a cucumber in front of a tiger cage. In her arms? Little Bronze, their 1-year-old son. While the tiger had Bronze shaking in his tiny cleats, Brittany was grinning at the camera as she epitomized the perfect blend of motherly care and lightheartedness.

But this family field trip wasn’t just about facing down fierce felines. Patrick, the master of evasion on the gridiron, was spotted with a different kind of receiver on his shoulders. Three-year-old Sterling was riding high, probably getting a better view than the coach’s booth. Meanwhile, Bronze took a timeout from the action to have a staring contest with some reptiles. Maybe he’s studying the Gator Roll for future touchdown celebrations?

This Portuguese playbook is just the latest chapter in the Mahomes’ highlight reel of a summer. Since the final whistle of the 2024 Super Bowl, they’ve been living it up like they’re on a never-ending victory lap.

As Brittany captioned in her Instagram post, “Portugal😍”, it’s clear they’re enjoying every minute of their European tour. But this sun-soaked getaway is just one part of a summer that’s been as action-packed as a two-minute drill.

Inside Patrick Mahomes’ unforgettable summer from Super Bowl rings to sandy beaches

The Mahomes have traded the roar of Arrowhead Stadium for the crash of ocean waves. Brittany’s Instagram carousel was a masterclass in beach day perfection. In one shot, she’s twinning with Sterling in bright orange swimwear, looking ready to take on the Portuguese shores like they’re the end zone.

Patrick, never one to sit on the sidelines, was caught on camera launching Sterling skyward. It was a perfect spiral, but instead of a pigskin, it was his giggling daughter soaring through the air. Bronze, not to be outshined, made his beach debut by sitting solo in the sand, wearing nothing but a diaper and a grin that could light up the Jumbotron.

The family’s vacation playbook isn’t just about beach blitzes, though. They’re camping out in style at the Parque De Campismo Praia Da Galé. This place is so swanky, it makes the luxury boxes at SoFi Stadium look like bleacher seats. We’re talking swimming pools, soccer pitches, and sunsets that would make even Bill Belichick crack a smile.

As Patrick prepares to lead another championship drive, it’s clear he’s mastered the art of the family huddle. Whether he’s tossing kids instead of footballs or cozying up to Brittany by the campfire, the Mahomes crew is showing us all how to win at the game of life. As Brittany said in a previous Father’s Day tribute, “What you do day in and day out for this family amazes me every day.” Now that’s what we call an MVP – Most Valuable Papa!
