Troy Aikman was looking for a way to put Patrick Mahomes name in his mouth, and he quickly found one during a game where the Chiefs quarterback was nowhere in sight.
While the Denver Broncos were taking on the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football, Joe Buck spoke on rookie quarterback Bo Nix and how teams were likely sick to their stomachs for passing him up in the 2024 NFL Draft.
After Buck finished with his comments, Troy Aikman jumped in and said, “A lot of people around the league are saying the same thing about why they didn’t grab Patrick Mahomes.”
PATRICK MAHOMES ISN’T EVEN PLAYING 😂

Aikman bringing up Mahomes in a game where he isn’t even playing had fans blasting him.
“Did Troy Aikman just compare teams passing up on Bo Nix to teams passing up on Mahomes?” one fan asked.
“Joe Buck: Bo Nix is so good at football. Troy Aikman: Yeah, but how about Patrick Mahomes?” one fan said as he mocked Aikman.
Another guy chimed in, “And there it is Troy Aikman can’t help but mention Mahomes when he’s not even playing lmao.”
And there it is Troy Aikman can’t help but mention Mahomes when he’s not even playing lmao.

“Troy Aikman comparing Bo Nix to Patrick Mahomes. Oh god,” another annoyed fan stated.
Bo Nix Quietly Having A Better Season Than Patrick Mahomes
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is having quite the debut campaign.
Nix is making a strong impression in his rookie season with the Denver Broncos, leading the team to a 7-5 record and a playoff position under head coach Sean Payton.
It can be argued that he is having a better year than Patrick Mahomes.
In 12 games, Nix has 2,548 yards, 16 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
Mahomes has thrown for 2,979 yards for the year with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
