NFL World reacts to Patrick Mahomes’ prime time replacement
Patrick Mahomes’ replacement has little perhaps with the Chiefs’ season and more to do with the Broncos’ disappointing performance. But fans online were quick to observe that the MVP frot-runner is being replaced by another MVP challenger, Tua Tagovailoa. NFL insider Adam Schefter’s tweet about this change said, “NFL flexed out of this season’s potential MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Denver Broncos on Sunday night Dec. 11 to get this matchup instead.” Attached to the tweet was a collage of Tagovailoa and Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.
Fans found their opportunity to let others know what they thought of the scheduling change. This fan is tired of the Broncos taking up prime time.

The ‘Tua for MVP’ club is very prominent
Had to put MVP Tua on prime time especially against another playoff competitor 🤷🏻♂️

The NFL World, especially Broncos Nation, is not amused by their lack of consistency. Wilson’s move to the Broncos has not been successful. He has fallen short of the mark all season. From the looks of it, another ‘let’s ride’ from Russell Wilson is bound to release a torrent of rage from the Broncos Nation. Fans are sick of the QB’s persistent optimism without visible results. The Chiefs are currently ranked well above the majority of the league. Before they take on the Broncos, Mahomes and Chiefs will face the Cincinnati Bengals.
