The Kansas City Chiefs got blown out 38-0 in their final matchup of the season against the Denver Broncos. However, it was a meaningless game.
Kansas City entered Week 18 with the No. 1 seed in the AFC secured. With a first-round bye and home-field advantage locked up, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid rested numerous starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t return home on Sunday night after the game due to a severe winter storm.
Because the Chiefs bypassed the Wild Card round, the delay wasn’t too concerning for the team. However, Mahomes was understandably on edge because his wife, Brittany Mahomes, is very pregnant with their third baby. Mahomes told NFL host Kay Adams before defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day that Brittany was due “any day now.”
“Hopefully, we can have the baby on the bye week somewhere and then everything will work out perfectly.” Things appear to be working out exactly as Mahomes hoped, as his wife is ready to give birth to their new baby girl during Wild Card weekend.

After landing back at Kansas City International Airport on Monday, January 6, CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson posted, “No one happier to get back to KC than Patrick Mahomes. He told me his wife Brittany is due to give birth to their 3rd child on Sunday. If she doesn’t give birth by then she will be induced Monday. There was def extra motivation for Patrick to get that bye week! 😜.”
Mahomes and Brittany, 29 are already parents to two children, daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon, 2. They also have two dogs, Silver and Steele. Therefore, fans predict the couple will stay on theme with naming baby No. 3.
While the Kansas City Current co-owner is typically a sideline staple at Chiefs games, she stayed home during Week 17 and Week 18.

If everything keeps going to plan, Mahomes will not only celebrate becoming a father of three this season, he will also celebrate winning a historic Super Bowl three-peat.

The 29-year-old quarterback and his wife announced that they were expecting a baby girl during an elaborate gender reveal party in July. During training camp, Mahomes spoke to reporters about the newest addition to the family.
“I’m done,” Mahomes said with a smile. “I’ll say that. I said three and I’m done.” However, he also described being a dad as “awesome.”
“I always wanted to have kids young,” Mahomes continued. “We’re having our third kid now to join our family, and Brittany does a great job of doing that, and we still go out and enjoy our life and let our kids see these great things.”
