The ‘Quarterback’ Series Episode 8 delves into the crucial moment of the AFC title, illustrating Mahomes’ remarkable Undertaker-like comeback. During the Divisional Round game against the Jaguars, Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a high-ankle sprain, leaving his return uncertain. In the days that followed, Mahomes committed to a rigorous rehab plan so that he would be allowed to play in the AFC Championship Game.
The MVP persevered and returned to the field in the second half, despite visibly struggling and being in pain throughout the game. Many doubted his return, but he defied expectations, embodying the spirit of resilience reminiscent of the legendary WWE wrestler. Similar to the Undertaker’s revenge on his wrestler opponents, the 27-year-old emerged from his bruised and broken state to unleash a killer punch in the game. Though not at his best health-wise, he displayed extraordinary courage, throwing for 326 yards and two touchdowns, propelling the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl appearance in four years.
Moreover, as Super Bowl LVII against Philly neared, questions arose about Mahomes’ ankle. Despite challenges, he defied the odds, leading the Chiefs to a triumphant victory, delivering a gutsy performance on the grand stage. However, Peyton Manning‘s show reveals that Mahomes’ wife also played a pivotal role in his triumphant comeback.

Standing firm with him and avoiding controversies, she has been a pillar of strength. The $400 million series beautifully portrays Brittany as the perfect partner for Mahomes. During his rehab, the KC Current co-owner kept on motivating him for the AFC game.
She could be heard saying to Mahomes’ medical staff, “I need you to work your magic, healing powers, and put some juju on that.” Their pre-game tradition of exchanging a ‘good luck kiss‘ and her motivational words like “proud of you” and “you can do it” add a touch of sweetness to their dynamic.
