Cris Collinsworth finally put it all out there on Monday, admitting his deep admiration for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is probably even stronger than Dan Orlovsky’s well-known love for Matthew Stafford. Yeah, you read that right. The veteran broadcaster, known for his on-air amazement, confirmed what many suspected, making it clear he’s completely captivated by Mahomes’ superstar talent.
That “Love Affair” Is Real, Y’all
This isn’t just some casual fan appreciation, folks. Collinsworth has been watching Mahomes tear it up for ages, and he’s still blown away by every highlight, past and present. When Dan Patrick pressed him on The Dan Patrick Show, asking directly if his Mahomes love was deeper than Orlovsky’s Stafford devotion, Collinsworth didn’t even try to deny it. He just paused and dropped, “Ooh, God, that would be tough. But yeah, probably, I guess.” That’s the sound of a man who knows he’s hooked. Comedian Nikki Glaser even joked about his obsession, which has Collinsworth thinking about pulling a fast one on Mahomes. He even joked about telling Mahomes he’d “rip” him on a broadcast for “no apparent reason,” just to shake up the narrative. Mahomes, being Mahomes, would probably just shrug and say, “Yeah, it’s fine, don’t worry about it.” Seriously, that’s how deep this goes.
Mahomes Is Back, And So Are The Chiefs
You can’t blame Collinsworth for being a superfan, especially with how Mahomes has come back this season. After a season-ending injury last year, Mahomes returned and the Chiefs are looking re-tooled and totally back on track. Two games in, and he’s already cooking. Mahomes has completed 47 out of 74 passes for 566 yards, dropping four touchdowns and only one interception. He’s even scrambling a bit, adding nine rushes for 40 yards and another touchdown on the ground. Kansas City is sitting pretty with a 2-0 start, taking down both the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts. They are holding the top spot in the AFC West standings, sitting above both the Las Vegas Raiders and the Broncos. It’s an early statement, and it shows why Collinsworth and so many others can’t take their eyes off him.
Next up, the Chiefs hit the road to visit the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. Kickoff is set for September 27 at 1 p.m. ET. Can Mahomes keep this undefeated streak rolling and maintain that early season momentum? You know everyone, especially Collinsworth, will be watching.
