The Kansas City Chiefs have been on a roll. Not including a loss here and there, the Chiefs have been dominating their competition. Furthermore, Patrick Mahomes has been playing well and his number one cheerleader, his wife, has been cheering for him. However, he had an interesting game against the Broncos. In the recent game, the quarterback had a supremely mixed performance. Subsequently, while his performance was the one that might have been lacking, Brittany faced the brunt of it on Twitter.

While the quarterback threw three touchdowns, three of his passes were also intercepted. Even in a rare moment like this, the quarterback’s wife was still cheering him on through Twitter. However, the influencer got trolled by fans on Twitter as Mahomes continued to play on the field.
Fans slam Brittany’s tweet
Fans were not kind to Brittany’s tweet that was appreciating her husband. While Mahomes did perform well, he had 3 interceptions. Three interceptions might not seem like a lot, but Mahomes is held to a higher standard by the fans. He might have been dubbed an MVP candidate but his interceptions seem to draw the ire of fans.
A fan slammed Brittany’s tweet and urged her to tell Mahomes to stop giving the ball away.
Can you tell Pat to stop throwing INTs? Gonna give the MVP away to a game manager @JalenHurts

There were sarcastic comments that mockingly compared Mahomes to Green Bay quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
Oh no he didn’t throw another interception. Patrick is the Aaron Rodgers of our generation. He will only win one Super Bowl.
— shawn shinkle (@ShinkleShawn) December 12, 2022
There was also a shifting of blame onto the quarterback.
3 Ints. Not looking so good anymore. If we lose it's all on your mans.

Another user mocked Mahomes when he had thrown his 2nd interception.
Oh no he didn’t just throw 2 INTs….🤪
— Hesus Maryusep!🙏 (@f_wuhan) December 11, 2022
A fan went on to remind Brittany that despite his good game, the quarterback still has three interceptions.
still had 3 ints

There was a user who took a completely different meaning from Brittany’s tweet.
He did throw those 2 interceptions. So yes he did

While Brittany was showing appreciation for her husband, there were a lot of football critics on Twitter.
He does a great job of throwing interceptions. Looking great as always.
— Roger_schmaltz_deuel (@RogerDeuel) December 11, 2022
Finally, a fan gave stern, serious advice to Brittany to pass it on to the quarterback.
Tell #15 not to thread the needle with those passes. His interceptions are becoming more frequent at critical times
— Tommyskins (@Tommyskins1) December 12, 2022
Fans were absolutely brutal for the three interceptions that Mahomes picked up. While the fans’ reactions were blown a little out of proportion, Mahomes clarified in the press conference after the game.

While his intercepted passes did not affect the team’s overall performance, they did affect his wife’s social media. Patrick Mahomes’ 3 intercepted passes were used as the hook of every joke on Brittany’s Twitter. However, the question is will this affect the Mahomes’ or will this be something they laugh about?
