Prior to the Super Bowl LVIII match against the San Francisco 49ers, the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs found himself in a fresh predicament. A few days ago, his father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., was apprehended by the authorities under the charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI). This is not an unfamiliar occurrence for him.
During the opening night of the Super Bowl, the quarterback was questioned about his father’s condition this Monday. However, he chose to remain silent as it is a matter of law.
His response demonstrated his focus on the Super Bowl and his desire to avoid distractions. Nevertheless, this is not the first time that Mahomes’ father has been arrested for DWI. It began in 2018. Mahomes Sr. was detained twice that year for DWI. The following year, he spent 40 days in jail for his DWI arrest. From 2019 to 2020, he served his sentence on weekends. If convicted, the quarterback’s father could face a prison term of two to ten years this time.
Mahomes’ father was arrested for DWI in both 2018 and 2019. During both these years, Mahomes played for the Chiefs. He made his debut in the 2017-18 season and has since had a successful career. The team ended their playoff drought in the following season and advanced to the AFC Championship, where they were defeated. Mahomes, in his first season as a starting player, performed exceptionally well for the Chiefs and earned his first MVP Award.
In the 19-20 season, Mahomes led Kansas City to victory in the Super Bowl. They defeated the Niners in the Super Bowl LIV match, and Mahomes delivered a crucial MVP performance.
It can be concluded that Mahomes remains focused on his goal even in the face of personal troubles. As the big game on February 11 approaches, Mahomes has a postseason record of 14-3, which may be a cause for concern for the San Francisco team.
