Patrick Mahomes Roasted for Reaction to Alma Mater’s Win

Texas Tech barely got past the FCS squad in their opener

Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated Texas Tech’s hard-fought season-opening win on social media Saturday, though it wasn’t an easy one to rejoice over.

The Red Raiders edged FCS squad Abilene Christian in overtime 52-51. The Wildcats tried to go for the win after scoring in OT but failed on the two-point conversion.

“1-0,” Mahomes tweeted in response to his alma mater’s victory.

Some were quick to point out it might not be a victory worth celebrating.

“They barely beat an FCS team this is NOT something to celebrate,” one fan wrote with a crying emoji.

“I don’t even know what I just watched,” another commenter said.

Texas Tech seemed to have things under control until the fourth quarter. Abilene Christian reeled off 17 points in the final 15 minutes, including a field goal with 5 seconds left that tied the game up and forced overtime.

“Stop. We deserve better,” another fan wrote in response to Mahomes’ tweet.

Mahomes had a standout college career at Texas Tech. He became the full-time starting quarterback during his sophomore year and set multiple records with his strong arm and mobility.

In his junior season, he led the nation in total offense, highlighted by a record-breaking 819-yard performance against Oklahoma. Despite Texas Tech’s struggles as a team, Mahomes’ impressive individual stats and playmaking ability set the stage for his selection as the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chiefs

Mahomes — now a 3-time Super Bowl champ — clearly still takes great pride in supporting the Red Raiders program. They’ll face a stiffer test next week as they look to move to 2-0 against Washington State.
