Patrick Mahomes Plays First Game As Father Of Three – How Did Tom Brady Play Him?

Patrick Mahomes will make his first appearance for the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday father of three children children.

Mohamed and his wife Brittany welcomed their new daughterGolden Raye, January 12. The defender was lucky enough to earn a bye week at the weekend following Golden Raye’s arrival, but returned to training a few days later.

He will now face the Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs. He carries the historic pressure of trying to lead his team to a third straight Super Bowl — something no team has ever done — along with the personal pressure of having another newborn baby girl.

As the only active quarterback with a realistic shot to challenge Tom Brady in the all-time legacy debate, Mahomes faced a much higher-stakes task than Brady faced when he first took the field as a father of three.

Brady welcomed his third child, daughter Vivian Lake, on December 5, 2012 – weeks before any do-or-die playoff game.

But the stakes were still pretty high. And like Mahomes, Brady’s first game since having his third child also came against the Houston Texans.

Brady and the New England Patriots welcomed Texas, which was 11-1 in the AFC at the time, to Gilette Stadium for a Monday night game. Brady led the Patriots to a 9-3 record as they sought to chase down Houston for first place.

And Brady didn’t miss a beat.

The former Patriots quarterback had a breakout game, throwing for 296 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions as New England dominated 42-14. Brady even had a whopping six yards on one carry, a good night for him on the ground by his standards in those days.

After the game, Brady enjoyed the win as a perfect end to the week when he told reporters that his then-wife Gisele Bundchen was doing well after giving birth.

“She’s doing really well,” Brady told reporters of Bundchen after the game. “It was a great week, a great way to end it.”

Mahomes has a high bar to live up to. But if he does put in a performance similar to what Brady did in 2012, his performance could be even more amplified in how he’s recognized.

With a win in the divisional round, Mahomes and the Chiefs will be just two wins away from taking home their unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title. On Saturday, Mohams and his wife will be in the spotlight even more than Brady was in 2012 because Taylor Swift is expected to attend, possibly along with Brittany.

And like Brady’s 2012 game, Saturday could be the last time Maugham plays football right after giving birth.

“I’m fine now,” he told reporters on Tuesday when asked if he would have another child. “Maybe we’ll see further, but my goal was always three, so we’ve had three and we’ll hang on for a while and see if we need to go back and get another one later.”
