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.
PHOTOS: The Entire Internet Is Freaking Out After Learning That Patrick Mahomes’ College Football Doppelganger, Dylan Raiola, Has A Younger Brother Who Looks Exactly Like A Certain Someone

Everyone had the same observation and resulting joke after finding out Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola has a younger brother.
Said sibling is in the news this week, having committed to the Cornhuskers himself, and is expected to be part of the program’s 2026 recruitment class.
Dayton Railoa announced his commitment on Sunday night. He replaced his older brother as the starting QB at Georgia’s Buford High School following his departure for college and has led them to four wins from their first five outings.
Dayton’s commitment makes him the newest Raiola to be associated with the Huskers.
The boys’ father, Dominic Raiola, played for the school from 1997-2000 before going on to spend 14 years with the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
Their uncle, Donovan Raiola, is the current offensive line coach at Nebraska.

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about this is Dayton’s uncanny resemblance to Jackson Mahomes. The observation comes amid widespread talk of Dylan’s similar appearance to Patrick Mahomes, which he’s leaned into by dressing and styling his hair like the Kansas City Chiefs QB.
Dylan Raiola’s Younger Brother Sparks The Jokes Online
Social media had some jokes after fans realized how much Dayton and Jackson look alike.
“Sucks to be the one like Jackson Mahomes,” another said.
“What kinda sick simulation are we in,” said a third.
“Does he also do things that are legally and morally wrong and the family sweeps under the rug?” a fourth asked.
Well, life can be crazy like that…
But, the way fans see it, it’s okay to look like Jackson Mahomes as long as you don’t act like Jackson Mahomes.
Dylan Raiola’s little brother is already way ahead in that regard, given that he’s a quarterback.
