Patrick Mahomes was a visitor in a playoff game for the first time in his career on Sunday. But of course, his wife, Brittany, and their daughter, Sterling Skye, were there for him, and Brittany proudly showcased their No. 15-inspired outfits.
His third-seeded Kansas City Chiefs are playing Josh Allen and the second-seeded Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in the AFC divisional round.
Back on Wednesday, Mahomes had said about going on the road for the first time in the postseason:
“It is what it is,’ Mahomes said. “Obviously I’ve been really lucky to play a lot of games at home at Arrowhead Stadium. It’s just everything has (fallen) that way.”
A couple of high-profile personalities have been spotted in the stands cheering for the defending Super Bowl champions. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, and his elder brother, freshly-retired center Jason, have been featured prominently.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce make history in Divisional Round game vs Bills
Ever since he was drafted 10th overall in 2017, Patrick Mahomes has favored one guy to catch most of his passes: Travis Kelce. With the pair onboard, the Kansas City Chiefs have reached at least the AFC Championship Game since 2018, when the quarterback became the starter.
In that span, they have established themselves as one of the most prolific passer-receiver duos in recent NFL history, and on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, they made history by becoming the most prolific in the playoffs.
Late in the first half, Mahomes found Kelce wide open in the endzone to tie Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski at 15:
They then broke the record early in the third quarter with this 16th connection:
The Chiefs won the Divisional Round game against the Bills 27-24 in Buffalo.
