The 2021 AFC divisional playoffs saw Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs battle for the top spot. One expert opinion before the AFC game was that Josh Allen was the superior quarterback to Patrick Mahomes. Brittany Mahomes was fuming after the take went viral. She expressed her displeasure on social media. But the Grim Reaper handled the scene like a pro and used Mamba Mentality citation.
Mahomes mentioned after the game, “Kobe has one of the best mentalities of all time as far as a competitor out there and winning championships, not just winning games. I take a lot from that of going out there every single day and not being satisfied with where you’re at and, like I said, the job’s not finished.”
“When we went into the season, we weren’t talking about going to the Super Bowl. We were talking about winning again and we’re trying to run it back. I’m excited for the opportunity to go out there and play against a great football team and try to do that,” He added.
