Video of Patrick Mahomes’ Beloved Grandma Debbie Adorably Chugging a Beer With Her Grandson Resurfaces, as Chiefs Yet Again Defeat Bengals
As the Chiefs won the AFC championship game over the Bengals last year, a surprising member of the Mahomes family stole the spotlight.
That member was Mahomes’ grandmother Debbie. Debbie was over the moon as her grandson made it to yet another Super Bowl. In a move that is still talked about to date, she downed an entire beer to celebrate.
Randi Mahomes shared the video of the iconic moment on her Instagram after the game, along with the backstory. It turned out that Grandma had made a wager that she would chug a Coors if Patrick and the Kansas City Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl.
As the Chiefs beat the Bengal once again in the present day, the video from last year has resurfaced, to celebrate the Chiefs’ crucial win and as a remembrance for Debbie, who passed away.
Patrick Mahomes and his grandmother were really close, and she would often be seen rooting for him. As the Chiefs secured their 8th straight AFC West title, surely the 2x MVP also missed his grandmother on the day replete with so many memories for him, as did the fans. The QB had been left heartbroken after his grandmother had passed away earlier this year.
