Patrick Mahomes did give the fans a bit of a scare, though, as he almost pulled off a Tom Brady. Remember when Brady threw the Lombardi trophy over to another boat following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2020 win? Everyone thought Mahomes is going to do the same to the crowd. Fortunately, he was just faking it.
It would have been okay if it was a normal football, but for a heavy object like the Vince Lombardi trophy? Now that's another matter.
No, Patrick! Not the Lombardi! š @patrickmahomes | @chiefs

While the moment received its fair share of criticisms from the haters who are just salty their team didn't win the Super Bowl (and those who doesn't want to see an extension of Kansas City's championship parade), plenty of Chiefs fans took to Twitter to join the fun.
āGREATEST QB OF ALL TIME,ā one commenter wrote.
A second fan wrote, āProud to be a Kansas City Chiefs Fan. Well done, Kansas City! We look good.ā
āJust in case anyone forgot, the Chiefs run the NFL,ā another supporter declared.
Love it or hate it, the Chiefs are the Super Bowl champs and all have the bragging rights.
