Randi Mahomes, mother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is asking for prayers.

The Chiefs are wrapping up 2024 on a high note after a solid win over the Steelers and securing the top seed in the AFC playoffs.

Christmas is over for the Mahomes family, but a prominent member still needs prayers.

Randi shared a story on her Instagram handle with her father, who has been facing health challenges. “Asking for prayers for my father,” Randi wrote in her story.

This post from Patrick Mahomes’ mother comes three months after she shared a picture of her daughter Mia as she sat by a hospital bed while Patrick’s grandfather was lying facing the television – appearing to watch Mahomes and the Chiefs against Los Angeles Chargers.

‘Prayer warriors, please pray for my daddy,’ she wrote on September 13. ‘He is in the hospital and is not well.’

 

Randi did not reveal exactly what the elder Mahomes is going through, which requires prayers.

PRAYERS UP: #Chiefs star Pat Mahomes mother, Randi, says they need everyone’s prayers for her father, Randy.

“Prayer warriors please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well.. 🙏🙏🙏 his name is Randy.”

Patrick Mahomes And The Kansas City Chiefs Can Rest

On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated this holiday season with a commanding 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The win moved them to 15-1, clinching the AFC’s top postseason seed with the coveted first-round bye.

That means the team will have homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Not only that, the players do not have to play in the final regular season game.

The Kansas City quarterback fully understands how important all of this is.

“It’s just going to be nice getting guys healthy,” Mahomes said.

“This was the earliest bye I’ve ever had, just in general. To kind of have had this grind of whatever it is, I think we had a bye on Week 6, so it’s like almost 10 weeks of just football and grinding this short schedule at the very end of the year. We had some guys banged up, and to get them back healthy now, we’ll see how Week 18 goes and who plays and who doesn’t play, that’s up to coach, but even getting this little break, getting back healthy, and then getting ourselves ready to go for the playoffs, it was super important, especially with the guys we have banged -up.”

REPORT: Jeff Bezos Emerges As The New Favorite To Purchase One Of The NFL’s Most Valuable Franchises

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has emerged as the new front-runner to purchase one of the NFL’s most valuable franchises.

You may recall that Jeff Bezos had interest in purchasing the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder, but they wound up selling the franchise to the Josh Harris-led group for $6.05 billion.

There have also been rumors about Bezos potentially buying the Seattle Seahawks. Since Paul Allen’s passing in 2018, the team has been run by his sister, Jody Allen.

Speculation is growing about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson potentially selling the team as the Jets finish out another disastrous season. The Jets entered 2024 with Super Bowl expectations, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been a giant disappointment with a 3-8 record.

According to Bovada, Jeff Bezos is now the betting favorite to purchase the Jets from Johnson and take over as their next owner. Johnson has owned the football organization since 2000.
