New Photo Shows Patrick Mahomes Performing Disgusting Gesture That Gets Called For A Penalty On Every Other NFL Player

Patrick Mahomes continues to benefit from calls or non-calls.

At one point during the game against the Houston Texans in the divisional round against the Texans, Mahomes could be seen celebrating on the field.

Usually, that is not a big story, but the type of celebration he did was noticeable.

Patrick Mahomes held his hand up like a gun, which should’ve gotten a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. That is normally a 15-yard penalty.

The policy has been in the players manual for years, and players know they cannot do a gun celebration.

 

One concern the league has previously had is that the celebrations will trickle down in college and high school sports, which it has done.

How Patrick Mahomes escaped a penalty is anyone’s guess.

Patrick Mahomes And The Chiefs Headed To Another AFC Championship Game

The Chiefs won 23-14 and are going to the AFC championship game for the seventh straight season after taking down the Texans.

The Chiefs will host the Sunday night’s Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills clash winner with the chance to had to yet another Super Bowl.

“Be my life partner” — Travis Kelce brings joy to the NFL world as he finally proposes to Taylor Swift with a $12 Million Ring. The proposal reportedly took place in a private and intimate setting with close friends and family present to share in the joyous occasion.

He isn’t afraid to show his love for her publicly,’ a source tells ET.Taylor Swift is loving life with Travis Kelce. Amid the international leg of the singer’s Eras Tour, a source tells ET that she’s “happier than ever and so in love.”

“She likes that Travis is so proud of her and that he isn’t afraid to show his love for her publicly,” the source says of Kelce, who recently traveled to see Swift’s concerts.

“She is in a great place and having the best time performing, making music, and feeling free to live her life more openly,” the source adds. “Travis is enjoying being on tour with Taylor and is happy to support her.”

As for what’s in store for the couple, the source says that “Taylor views Travis as a true partner and someone she can have a real future with.”

After Kelce returned from his London trip, the Super Bowl champion discussed his vacation during an episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast.

“It’s a wild ride. I will tell you this, London did not disappoint. It was amazing over there,” Kelce said, before recalling the media attention during his and Swift’s visit to the Sydney Zoo.

“There were full-on helicopters just flying around,” he said. “They helicoptered us. Well, not us — Taylor. This is all because Taylor’s the biggest and the best thing possible.”

When it comes to the crowd at Swift’s show, Kelce said, “The Wembley Stadium was pretty rowdy, the people like to have a good time, I like to have a good time. Taylor is very fond of performing in London because the crowds over there and how into it they get, so shout out to London for showing up, showing out.”

Arrowhead Stadium witnessed not just a thrilling Chiefs victory over the Texans, but also one of the most jaw-dropping moments in sports and pop culture history.

Moments after the Chiefs secured their win, star tight end Travis Kelce shocked the crowd and millions watching at home by proposing to pop superstar Taylor Swift right on the field—complete with an engagement ring reportedly worth a staggering $7 million.

In a beautifully orchestrated moment, Kelce dropped to one knee at the 50-yard line, holding a dazzling diamond ring, as Taylor Swift stood beside him in stunned silence.

The stadium erupted in cheers, with fans chanting, “Say yes!” as Taylor’s parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, watched from the sidelines with proud smiles.

“Taylor, you make me a better man every single day, and I can’t imagine my life without you,” Kelce said, his voice trembling with emotion. “Will you marry me?”

The pop icon, visibly moved and teary-eyed, nodded and said, “Yes!” before embracing Kelce as fireworks lit up the Kansas City sky. The couple’s kiss sealed the moment, and the Chiefs’ players and fans erupted into wild celebrations.

Social media immediately went into overdrive, with hashtags like #EngagedInKC and #TaylorAndTravis trending worldwide. Fans praised the proposal as the perfect blend of romance and spectacle.

The custom engagement ring, estimated to be worth $7 million, features a massive diamond centerpiece surrounded by intricate red and gold detailing—a nod to Kelce’s Chiefs roots and their love story.

With Taylor’s parents witnessing the special moment, it’s clear the two families are fully on board with this union. The proposal capped off a magical night for Chiefs Kingdom, cementing Kelce and Swift as one of the most talked-about couples of the decade.

As fans bask in the glow of the Chiefs’ victory and the newly engaged couple’s joy, one thing is certain: this is a night Kansas City—and the world—will never forget.

Travis Kelce feeling ’22’ after delivering best game of season in Chiefs’ playoff win

Kelce put together his best game of the season against the Texans

Travis Kelce delivered his best game of the season in the biggest game of the Kansas City Chiefs’ season to that point.

Kelce had seven catches on eight targets for 117 yards and a touchdown catch. It was the most receiving yards he’s recorded in a single game in the 2024 season as the Chiefs won the game, 23-14, to move to the AFC Championship Game for the seventh straight time.

The star tight end asked how he felt as he spoke to reporters.

“Twenty-two, baby, 22” he said referencing his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “22.”

It was the same joke he used when he appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” ahead of the playoffs. He was asked if he felt like he has the energy of a young athlete.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22,” he told McAfee earlier this month.

Kelce was able to turn back the clock and put retirement rumors to rest for at least one more week.

Kelce faced all kinds of criticism during the season, with accusations flying about him being washed up or spending too much time with his girlfriend. He still managed to have 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games.

Even at age 35, Kelce was healthy for the entire season and only missed Week 18 as the Chiefs decided to rest their starters, having already wrapped up a bye week. With the whiff of retirement entering the air as the season enters the final stretch, Kelce was asked whether Swift had any thoughts about him calling it a career.

Kelce said he has support from Swift to keep playing if he wants to.

 

Travis Kelce Reveals If Taylor Swift Wants Him to Retire From NFL

Travis Kelce shared that Taylor Swift is certainly not pushing for him to retire from the Kansas City Chiefs, saying that she loves to cheer him on and watch him “chasing these dreams.”

Taylor Swift doesn’t necessarily want the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to her.

According to Travis Kelce, the “Karma” singer is not, in fact, encouraging him to hang up his NFL jersey and retire from the Kansas City Chiefs.

“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Travis shared on the Stephen A. Smith Show Jan. 15. “She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

And the NFL tight end believes that having such stability in his personal life—and having Taylor’s support throughout the season—has without a doubt made him a better player this season.

“That’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship,” Travis explained, “is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft. Focus on being the best version of you.”

In fact, that was the reason the 35-year-old made sure to attend as many performances of Taylor’s Eras Tour as possible, saying, “I wanted to be at the concerts supporting her and being there for her making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life.”

“I think I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player I can possibly be, week in and week out for this team,” Travis added, “And it’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”

Throughout their relationship, Travis and Taylor have not shied away from very publicly cheering for each other—which Taylor has been incredibly grateful for.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves,” the 35-year-old told Time in 2023, “we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”

Taylor continued, “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story began in July 2023, when the singer’s Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it. However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals.

“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. “So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”

Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying

“I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court,” he shared on The Pat McAfee Show. “I told her, you know, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ So, we’ll see what happens in the near future.”

As Taylor noted, “We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Fact Check: Rumor That Patrick Mahomes Bought Hotel and Fired Employees After Experiencing Racism Is False

Btuatu.com

After experiencing racial discrimination from a hotel employee, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bought the hotel and fired the employees who disrespected him.

In January 2025, internet users shared a rumor that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bought a hotel and fired its employees after experiencing racial discrimination there. (Mahomes is the son of a Black father and a white mother. He told a GQ reporter in 2020 that he identifies as Black.)

Multiple Snopes readers wrote in to ask whether the story was true. The claim also appeared in a Jan. 8, 2025, post (archived) on the Facebook page NFL Playoffs (which is not affiliated with the National Football League), as well as other (archived) posts on Facebook (archived).

(Facebook page NFL Playoffs)

In short, the rumor about Mahomes buying a hotel was false. It originated as an adaptation of a story about celebrity athlete Shaquille O’Neal that was fictional and possibly generated using artificial intelligence software. There was no credible evidence Mahomes had ever purchased a hotel and then fired its employees.

The NFL Playoffs post on Facebook linked to an article (archived) on the website Btuatu.com, which is affiliated with the NFL Playoffs page, according to that page’s Intro section page. The text of that article began:

On a cool autumn evening, the Royal Beacon Hotel’s lobby gleamed with polished marble floors and soft lighting. Guests in tailored suits and designer dresses glided past, exchanging quiet greetings. Behind the front desk, Marissa, a young receptionist, prided herself on managing the hotel’s elite ambiance. She believed she could spot the right sort of clientele from a distance.

As the clock approached midnight, a tall, broad-shouldered Black man stepped inside, wearing a simple hoodie and jeans. His face was friendly but weary, as if he had come from a long journey. He approached the front desk, and Marissa’s smile tightened, turning polite but guarded. She sized him up, noting his casual clothes. This wasn’t how their usual guests dressed.”

The post on Facebook and the Btuatu.com article each featured a collage of two photos, with the same image on the top of both collages and different images on the bottom. A comparison can be seen below.

(Right: Facebook page NFL Playoffs/Left: Btuatu.com)

The upper photo in both collages appeared to depict Mahomes and three other people in a lobby. Red circles surrounded the heads of the two figures on the far left and right of the photo, at least one of whom appeared to be a security guard or police officer, and a red arrow pointed toward the head of the fourth figure, who appeared to be a hotel employee behind a desk.

The two lower images were real photos that had previously appeared in legitimate news coverage of Mahomes.

The lobby photo, by contrast, showed signs of digital manipulation. For example, visible in the lower right corner of the Btuatu.com version of the upper image was a watermark from Snapedit, a digital photo editing tool described on its website as “AI-powered.”

Another sign the image was manipulated was that Mahomes appeared to have no shadow, as can be seen in the detail below.

(Facebook page NFL Playoffs)

A reverse image search of the part of the photo featuring Mahomes showed that section of the image was a flipped and cropped version of a photo Mahomes originally posted to his official Instagram account on Oct. 23, 2023. (The photo in question is the second in the carousel; a screenshot is embedded below.)

(@patrickmahomes on Instagram)

A reverse image search of the lobby photo with Mahomes removed found that a nearly identical photo was the thumbnail image for a 12-minute video by the YouTube account Storytime With Solomon, titled “Racist Hotel Rejects Big Shaq, The Next Day He Returns as the Owner AND …” The only apparent difference was that the YouTube image featured O’Neal instead of Mahomes.

The thumbnail image, a screenshot of which is embedded below, did not appear in the video itself.

(Storytime With Solomon on YouTube)

The description of that video included the key words “fictional” and “fictional stories.” In other words, the Storytime With Solomon video did not claim to depict or describe real events.

A disclaimer in the description also stated that the video featured “Altered or synthetic content,” noting that “Sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated.”

We submitted the video’s transcript to the AI text detectors GPTZero and Sapling, both of which found a strong likelihood that the text of the story about O’Neal was also a product of artificial intelligence.

The text of the Btuatu.com article about Mahomes was nearly identical to the first five minutes of the Storytime With Solomon video about O’Neal, differing only in that Mahomes’ name appeared in the article where O’Neal’s did in the video. A screenshot of the transcript of the video’s first 36 seconds can be seen below.

(Storytime With Solomon on YouTube)

The Btuatu.com article did not reproduce the entire story from the Storytime With Solomon video. At a point roughly corresponding to the video’s five-minute time-stamp, the article abruptly switched focus to an apparently unrelated story about Mahomes’ family enjoying a snow day.

To summarize, the claim about Mahomes buying a hotel and firing its employees originated from a partial transcription of a fictional story about O’Neal buying a hotel after experiencing racism, with all instances of O’Neal’s name changed to Mahomes’.

We’ve previously investigated other fictional stories about celebrities that some internet users have mistaken for fact, such as a rumor that rapper Snoop Dogg was denied access to his first-class seat on a flight because he is Black.

Brittany Mahomes Shows Off Glam Look as She Thanks Makeup Artist and Hairstylist for ‘Making Me Feel Human Again’ After Welcoming Baby

When it comes to her beauty look, Brittany Mahomes has entered her “Golden Era.”

One day after Brittany, 29, stepped out to support her husband Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates as they faced off against the Houston Texans in a divisional playoff game, the newly minted mom of three’s makeup artist and hairstylist shared a glimpse of what appears to be her pre-game glam session.

Hairstylist Bex Pichelmann posted a pair of photos on Instagram on Sunday, Jan. 19, showing Brittany posing with her blonde hair styled in soft waves and her face glowing with a flawless makeup look. Pichelmann wrote in the caption, “The Golden Era✨✨✨,” an apparent nod to Brittany and Patrick’s youngest child Golden Raye, who was born on Jan. 12.

“@brittanylynne rides harder for her man more than I know I ever could 😂👸🏼,” the hairstylist continued, seemingly referring to the fact that Brittany attended the game to cheer on Patrick just six days after giving birth to her newborn.

The Kansas City Current co-owner replied in the comments, “Anything for my boy🥹🤍.”

Makeup artist Laurabeth Cabott also shared the same two photos of Brittany on her own Instagram page, writing, “@brittanylynne serving mother and wife of the year. No days off for our queen ❤️‍🔥💅🏼😮‍💨,” and adding the hashtag #gamedayglam.

Brittany commented in response: “No days off😎😎.”

She later reshared the MUA’s post on her Instagram Stories, giving both Cabott and Pichelmann a shout-out by tagging them and thanking them for “bringing me back to life and making me feel human again 😂 🙏.”

“Love yall,” she added.

Following the game, Brittany — joined by daughter Sterling, 3, and son Bronze, 2 — attended a Chiefs post-game press conference to support Patrick. The trio can be seen cuddled up together next to the crowd of reporters, listening to the quarterback speak, per a video shared on X by sports journalist Harold R. Kuntz.

Patrick ended up leading his team to a decisive 23-14 victory over the Texans, putting the Chiefs one step closer to clinching their third-consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Next up, they will play in the AFC championship game on Sunday, Jan. 26.

When it comes to an action-packed Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff season, Taylor Swift is ready for it.

The 14-time Grammy winner, 35, attended the Saturday, Jan. 18 NFL playoff game, where her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs are taking on the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.

Swift was captured arriving at the matchup in an oversized black and white Chanel coat, which she paired with all-black Chanel attire underneath.

The star kept her hair down in long waves, as she rocked her signature red lip.

Swift was joined by her mom, Andrea Swift, and dad, Scott Swift. Brother Austin Swift was there as well.

The Chiefs are currently 15-2 this season, having only lost to the Buffalo Bills in November and the Denver Broncos in their final game of the season, in which they rested starters like Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. They’re on the chase for a three-peat Super Bowl Championship after winning in 2023 and 2024.

The Jan. 18 game marks the first that Swift has attended since Dec. 21 — which was also against the Texans. Her mom, Andrea Swift, joined her to see the Chiefs defeat the team 27-19.

Along with the Chiefs-Texans game this weekend, the Washington Commanders will face the Detroit Lions at their Ford Field on Jan. 18.

On Sunday, Jan. 19, the Los Angeles Rams will play the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Penn. Later that evening, the Baltimore Ravens will take on the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.

Kelce, 35, confirmed that Swift would be at the Jan. 18 game while on The Pat McAfee Show. “Is there going to be an aura in that place, a little bit extra? You know what we’re talking about,” the host teased, without mentioning the “Cruel Summer” singer by name.

“Oh yeah, you know it, baby,” Kelce said during the Jan. 13 episode. “It’s playoff football, man.”

McAfee, 37, also mentioned that Swift’s got a solid track record for attending Chiefs’ games. Of the 20 she’s attended, Kelce’s team only lost three games.

“She rolls into that stadium, I just want to let you know what live bettors do. They see her walk into that stadium and immediately open the phone, like, ‘Yup, Chiefs are about to win.’ That is just literally the feel,” McAfee said.

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo took to social media platform Instagram to express his gratitude and excitement as he showcased his latest achievement. The NBA Finals MVP shared a photo of himself with a collection of luxury timepieces, highlighting his partnership with renowned Swiss watchmaker Breitling.

In his heartfelt caption, Giannis reflected on his humble beginnings and the journey that has led him to this remarkable point in his career. “Used to sell watches and now I have a few of my own! Thank you @breitling 🙏🏽🧿,” he wrote, accompanied by the photo that captured the attention of his millions of followers.

The Greek Freak’s rise from selling watches on the streets to becoming one of the brightest stars in the basketball world is nothing short of inspiring. Giannis has consistently demonstrated his dedication, resilience, and relentless pursuit of excellence, both on and off the court.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s partnership with Breitling signifies another significant milestone in his ever-expanding brand portfolio. Known for their precision and craftsmanship, Breitling watches perfectly align with Giannis’ pursuit of greatness and his commitment to excellence.

The collaboration between Giannis and Breitling is expected to bring forth exciting opportunities and unique timepiece designs that reflect the basketball phenom’s personal style and values. As a global ambassador for the brand, Giannis will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on the world of horology, just as he has done in the realm of basketball.

Fans and admirers anxiously anticipate the presentation of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s exclusive trademark timepieces, which are intended to showcase his unique flare and personality. Giannis’ contagious excitement and unwavering work ethic continue to inspire people all across the world, reminding them that dreams can come true.

As Giannis Antetokounmpo’s popularity rises, his relationship with Breitling demonstrates his astonishing path from selling watches to owning his own, cementing his standing as not just an exceptional player but also a real role model for striving individuals throughout the world.

The Texans were never good enough. Not to stop history in the making. They lost 7 games in the regular season. However, since they won the wild card game against the Chargers, some thought they might be able to stand up to the Chiefs. But CJ Stroud failed to produce the same magic at the Arrowhead and lost 23-14. But his reaction to the game officials was unexpected.

Fans Lose Respect for CJ Stroud as Calls Mount Against Texans QB’s Dig Against Chiefs Over Controversial Refereeing© Provided by EssentiallySports

During the post-game conference, the Texans QB said, “I’m not gonna go back and forth on what I thought was a call when it wasn’t a call. It’s one of those things you kind of notice before you walk in that arena. I can’t argue with the ref, and at the same time, play football.” No one could have expected that the young QB would place the blame on referees instead of owning up to his performance.

The Chiefs’ HC Andy Reid won 300th game of his NFL career. And it came at the right time. But the Texans’ had a plan. Even the HC DeMeco Ryans had a similar mindset. He also took a subtle dig at the Chiefs, claiming they knew that it was going to be them against everybody. The only thing CJ Stroud and his coach didn’t show was accountability.
While they lost against the Chiefs by 23-14 today, they lost the 2023 divisional game against the Ravens by even more difference with 34-10. Who was responsible, then? Well, the HC and the QB praised the team and their staff. But didn’t show the same view on Saturday. And if we talk about the penalties too, here’s an interesting number.

CJ Stroud complained about penalties against the Chiefs as they finished with 8 penalties for 82 yards. But against Ravens last season, they had 11 penalties for 70 yards. These statements made many footballs fans angry who had some good views about the Texans QB.

One fan mentioned many legends, like Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. They asked a simple question – when did they blame the referees for their losses? They added, “Wow, did not expect CJ Stroud to have the same line about the officiating. Thought he was more of a leader than that.” CJ Stroud did the unthinkable for many fans.

Another fan couldn’t believe that the Texans had raised doubts and wrote, “My God. Is there one player on the Texans that has the guts to own up to their shitty plays all day?!?! Liked them a lot before the game but this is just ridiculous.” Where was the O-line to protect their signal caller? He was sacked not once or twice, but 8 times. But another fan aimed directly at CJ Stroud and called him out for not performing and his cheap tactics, saying, “Wow. Used to think Stroud was a decent guy, but even he has turned into a victim culture crybaby? Zero respect. Take responsibility, young man. It looks way better than bitching.”

Another fan kept a close watch on the criticism of referees and asked how one bad call cost him the entire game. While mentioning the sacks, he wrote, “Lol, cope harder, bro! One bad call and it cost him the game? No mention of being sacked 8 times?” However, one fan cleared everything about his stance with a 6-word message that was, “Lost some respect for this guy.”

Overall, it was a good game. But the Chiefs moved to the next round at the Arrowhead. The Texans need to regroup and start all over again.
