Kevin Durant defends Patrick Mahomes while Brittany Mahomes weighs in on criticism

Brittany Mahomes has often expressed her support for her husband and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

While the Chiefs quarterback is still largely viewed as one of the NFL’s top talents, Kansas City’s uneven performances this season have raised questions about the team’s postseason viability.

The Chiefs have advanced to four of the last five Super Bowls, but are 6-6 in a critical Week 14 matchup with the Houston Texans. A loss on Sunday night could be a blow to the Chiefs’ playoff hopes.

However, if the Chiefs manage to defeat the Texans, it would significantly improve their playoff odds.

The uncertainty surrounding the normally perennial playoff team has also sparked some conversations about Mahomes’ performance so far in 2025. However, two-time NBA Finals champion Kevin Durant responded to anyone who decided to directly criticize Mahomes’ football prowess.

“What kind of question is that? That doesn’t make any sense. If someone questions Pat Mahomes’ legacy in a single year, he can miss the playoffs for the rest of his career, I don’t give a damn,” Durant said during a recent appearance on “Up & Adams.”

“This guy is Patrick Mahomes. When he came out, how many championships did he have? Three? Come on, come on. Are we going to question Pat Mahomes, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce? He’s still an all-time great, potentially the greatest of all time.”

A clip of Durant’s comments was later shared on the show’s Instagram account and prompted a comment from Brittany. “Let them know,” he wrote.

CJ Stroud returned to the Texans lineup for a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

The Chiefs-Texans game begins at 8:20 p.m. ET.
