Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a hilarious reason for refusing to eat the post-game cake he received after leading his team to victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs cruised to a 29-10 victory over the Steelers on Wednesday to lock up the AFC’s top seed. The Chiefs are assured a first-round bye and need just two home victories to return to the Super Bowl for the fifth time in six years.
Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were awarded red velvet cakes in the shape of footballs after Wednesday’s victory. When presented the cakes by reporter Stacey Dales, Mahomes hilariously stated that he couldn’t eat it because he’s watching his weight for the postseason:
Patrick Mahomes had a field day against the Steelers, completing 29 of 38 pass attempts for 320 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Kelce had eight receptions for a game-high 84 yards and one touchdown.
The Chiefs will presumably rest their key starters for Week 18 against the Denver Broncos with the No. 1 seed locked up. Mahomes has been nursing an ankle injury he suffered in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns, so the Chiefs would be wise to let him rest up until their Divisional Round game.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Are Cruising Into Playoffs
The Chiefs have played in every AFC Championship Game since 2018, the year Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback. They’ve played in four of the last five Super Bowls, emerging victorious in three of them.
And despite a string of injuries to key players throughout the season, Andy Reid’s group has conquered adversity time and time and time again. With all that playoff experience and championship pedigree, the Chiefs unquestionably look like the team to beat heading into the 2024-25 postseason.

It is no shock that the man Gracie Hunt would be dating was either going to be an active athlete or have a past in athletics.
It turns out he is much more than that.
Former college football quarterback Cody Keith, who became a real estate agent, is now dating the heiress to the Kansas City Chiefs fortune.
During an interview with OutKick’s Charly Arnolt, Hunt revealed that Keith is actually friends with Patrick Mahomes. They used to train together well before she started dating the former East Carolina quarterback.
“He grew up playing football and he and Patrick actually trained together out of college,” Gracie Hunt explained.
“They had a pre-existing friendship. And it is just so funny how small the world is. They have been buddies this whole time, and it took him all this time to meet me.”
Hunt seems to be smitten with the new love in her life.
“We are grateful that we can easily travel to see each other. He has made a huge effort to come to the games this year, which has been so much fun to get to share football season with him.”
As a quarterback at Cheshire Academy in 2010, Keith threw for 3,840 yards and 39 touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt has found love with former East Carolina quarterback Cody Keith.
She debuted her relationship in September 2024.
Since their Instagram launch, neither has been shy about showcasing their romance in public.
Keith, who appeared in two games for the ECU Pirates in 2013, attended training camps with the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts. However, he never had the chance to earn a roster spot in the league.
According to the website of The Keith Corporation, a commercial real estate development and brokerage firm, Keith is a licensed broker in the state of North Carolina and is “primarily focused on tenant representation and build-to-suit development.”
