The Kansas City Chiefs head into a critical Week 15 match against the New England Patriots.
While the game might not affect the Chiefs’ postseason chances – they’ll have at least a one-game lead over the Denver Broncos in the AFC West regardless of the outcome – a win would break a two-game losing streak and help Kansas City push for a better seed in the AFC playoffs.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been playing well lately, though.
He’s averaged just 240.5 passing yards over the past two games with just two total passing touchdowns and one interception – all well below his season averages.
In light of the crucial game, Mahomes showed up to the Week 15 match in an all-black suit, dark sunglasses, and flashy red shoes.
The outfit had fans talking – both with positivity and jokes.
He’s wearing sunglasses inside because he still has tears in his eyes from last week

In my head he’s listening to “I’m upset” as he walks out, we’re not losing from here on out

The last time Mahomes played, he called out officiating after an offsides call negated a late Chiefs’ touchdown against the Buffalo Bills.
Kansas City lost the game, 20-17, and Mahomes picked up a $50,000 fine for criticizing the officials after the game.
Mahomes later apologized for his actions.
Head coach Andy Reid was fined $100,000 for criticizing the officials as well.
The Chiefs are 8-5 with a clear path to the postseason, but wins over their next four games will only help keep their lead in the division.
Mahomes is having a career-low season, but will play some friendlier matchups in the final stretch of the season – starting with the Patriots this week.
Games against the Las Vegas Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, and Los Angeles Chargers await before the Chiefs’ inevitable playoff run.
