“I Wake Up Not at an Alarm”: Patrick Mahomes Reveals the Legendary Incident That Marked the Beginning of His Bromance With Travis Kelce That Even Brittany Mahomes Is Jealous of

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have emerged as a blazing QB-TE duo after Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Mahomes and Kelce have remained prosperous and have taken the Chiefs to a new level. They have developed a bond that is not just effective on the field but off it as well. But how did it begin? It has a hilarious incident behind it.

The Chiefs quarterback joined the Kelce brothers on the New Heights podcast. Jason kept asking how the friendship between Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce began. It involves a legendary incident that inspired two trailblazers to join forces.

The story of the most trailblazing duo

Patrick Mahomes mentioned, “We go out, and Coach Reed told us the next day at eight o’clock we’re gonna have a 15-minute walkthrough done; that’s all you have on Sunday, so I set eight alarms on my phone… I get out there, and I see old Travis Kelce out at the same spot as I’m at. Travis is like, ‘Hey, listen, come on! Y’all come over here. Let’s have a great time.’ I have a great night. I get home and have all my alarms set… I wake up not to an alarm, but I look at the TV and see 8:15 on my TV screen on the resting thing. I didn’t put my phone in the charger so my phone died and I’ve done that rookie mistake.”

“They call me up to the office, and I get the max fine. All this different stuff makes me feel like an idiot, and I just thought it was so weird, the first question they asked me was, ‘Were you with Travis?’” He added.

Aaron Donald paid the price for roughing Patrick Mahomes

In the Chiefs-Rams game, Patrick Mahomes and company stood tall. But there was a disputed moment in the game. The incident occurred with 9:51 left in the fourth quarter. Aaron Donald and Michael Hoecht combined to sack Mahomes on third-and-goal from the 7-yard line. However, they penalized the DT for a facemask roughness penalty. Moreover, the unnecessary roughness penalty nullified that play.

As per Ian Rapoport, the NFL fined Aaron Donald for unnecessary roughness against Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The league fined the defensive star $15,914. It is the maximum fine for a facemask violation, noting that it was Donald’s second strike.
