Who says you can’t mix sports and stargazing? Patrick Mahomes just proved you can have the best of both worlds. The NFL champ took a break from the gridiron to enjoy some quality family time during the recent solar eclipse. And in true Mahomes fashion, the backyard bash turned into an unforgettable scoring drive.

But the real touchdown came indoors. Mahomes’ cute kid Bronze, in a spontaneous play-call, grabbed a basketball and, with the precision of a seasoned pro, landed a ‘3-pointer’ in a mini hoop. The crowd goes wild! Well, the crowd was Mahomes, who couldn’t contain his excitement, erupting in cheers for the pint-sized player’s big score.

This slice of family life offers fans a peek into the quarterback’s home field, where the playbooks are simple, and the victories are sweet. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best plays happen off the gridiron, and the MVPs are the ones we come home to.

But the solar eclipse viewing wasn’t just about Bronze’s clutch genes. The Mahomes’ heartwarming Instagram stories gave fans an all-access pass to their off-season home life. From Patrick shielding daughter Sterling’s eyes during the eclipse peak to the chuckle-worthy dog antics, it was a candid glimpse at how this all-star family kicks back.

At one point, Brittany panned to the doggos trapped behind a baby gate, playfully calling them out for refusing to “wear glasses.” Star quarterback or not, Patrick has his hands full with this hilarious crew. Luckily, he seemed to take it all in stride, even when Bronze opted to ditch the eclipse for a shirtless broom-riding session. Hey, when you’re that little, you make your own rules.

Patrick Mahomes’s son is a tiny titan with game day hype

A couple weeks before the Mahomes family’s solar eclipse bash, Bronze was already showing off his sports superfan skills. In an adorable clip shared by proud mom Brittany, the 16-month-old was locked in on a March Madness basketball game, letting out excited shrieks with every shot attempt.

As a player went up for a potential bucket, Bronze threw his arms skyward with the enthusiasm of a sideline hype man. “This kid loves ball!” Brittany captioned the video, her voice brimming with laughter. It was a priceless high-five moment between mother and son, bonding over their shared sports mania.

For the Mahomes crew, athleticism is simply hard-wired into their DNA. With a pro quarterback for a dad, a former soccer star mom, and a big sis who’s already wielding a mean swing on the tee-ball field, little Bronze was born into sports royalty. Clearly, the tot is soaking it all in like a natural.

From his elite-level “couch coaching” to sinking that eggy at the eclipse watch, Bronze is shaping up to be the ultimate athletic phenom…and family’s not-so-secret weapon. Who knows, in a few years he may even out-celebrate his dad’s trademark “Griddy” dance after a touchdown.
