Patrick Mahomes Hopes to Beat “Friend” Josh Allen as “Bragging Rights” on the Line Ahead of Bills vs. Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs delivered an outstanding performance in the wild-card round. They overpowered the Miami Dolphins with a 26-7 win. This victory was highlighted by Mahomes’ exceptional 262-yard and a one-touchdown performance. Also, their defense was equally formidable, which remarkably held the dynamic Dolphins’ offense to just seven points.

Now, the Super Bowl-defending Chiefs face a formidable opponent in the Buffalo Bills. This also marks Mahomes’ inaugural non-Super Bowl road playoff game. The Chiefs-Bills matchup is a recurring postseason fixture with three meetings in four years. This time, Mahomes and Josh Allen will face each other. They’re reported to be friends off-field. So, Mahomes’ comments on this rivalry and friendship have recently ignited considerable online buzz.

Mahomes reflects on rivalry and friendship with Josh Allen

The Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, recently shared his opinion on the relationship with the Bills QB, Josh Allen. This is not their first time competing; they have collaborated in the past against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in a celebrity golf event in Las Vegas. Mahomes expressed admiration for Allen during the post-game conference. He said, “Josh is a great dude. I respect the way he plays football, just the guy that he is.”

Mahomes emphasized the heightened competitive drive when friends face off. He said, “When two guys that are ultra-competitive and friends off the field go up against each other, we obviously both want to win.” He also acknowledged that competing against a friend like Allen adds a layer of intensity to the desire for victory. He said, “We know we see each other in the offseason and you want to have a little bit of those bragging rights.”

Mahomes added, “I think everybody you you have friends but whenever you almost like when you compete against your friends you almost want to win even more because of it.” This candid reflection from Mahomes revealed the nuanced relationship between players’ friendships. In the Chiefs’ last match, they faced the consequences of the cold weather. Even Mahomes’ helmet broke because of the cold. Now, what will be the weather in their next game? Let’s find out.
