These heartwarming images garnered an outpouring of love and well-wishes from fans in the comments section. In Week 2, the defending champs finally boasted a full roster as Travis Kelce and Chris Jones made their triumphant return. The star TE had been recuperating from a knee injury, while Jones had resolved his contract holdout with the team. However, as Mahomes’ birthday came, so did the Chiefs, after excelling and defeating the Jags with an 8-point lead.
The defending champs finally locked in their highly anticipated matchup, delivering an exhilarating performance. While the Jaguars put up a valiant fight, they failed to secure a touchdown throughout the game. Mahomes added two touchdown passes to his impressive tally, connecting with Skyy Moree and the trustee Travis on 9-yard passes. However, it was Harrison Butker who stole the spotlight, sealing the victory with a crucial fourth-quarter field goal, culminating in a final score of 17-9.
Fans are awed by the snapshots!
The Chiefdom can’t help themselves and the comment section of the post is filled with congratulatory messages for Mahomes and the rest of the team.
Ecstatic fans expressed their joy in the comments section, as one enthusiastic fan cheered, “Go Chiefs! Happy Birthday Mahomes! ♥️”
Another admirer showered Tavia with affection, typing, “Beautiful family beautiful representatives of Chiefs nation ❤️💛🙏🏻”
