Tom Brady praises under-fire Patrick Mahomes’ leadership style – even after the Chiefs QB was seen ranting at his offense in Christmas Day Raiders loss: ‘I’m never going to bet against a guy like Patrick’

Future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady said he loved the fire he saw from Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes during the 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day.

Brady was referring specifically to a clip of an angry-looking Mahomes trying to motivate his offensive linemen on the sidelines during the loss.

‘I love the way Patrick approaches it. Believe me with the confidence that he is a player. I don’t think that he thinks anyone can really stop him,’ Brady said during an episode of the ‘Let’s go Podcast.’

‘I still believe in what the Chiefs are doing in that. And I’m never going to bet against a guy like Patrick because I think he’s such a phenomenal player and leader.’

Mahomes’ fiery attempt at leadership may have backfired, however, as only moments later the Chiefs offense surrendered back-to-back defensive touchdowns in an NFL record of seven seconds.

After surrendering the two touchdowns to the Raiders defense Kansas City entered the half trailing 17-7.

Mahomes also let his emotions shine brightly when he was fined $50,000 after throwing his helmet to the ground and yelling at the officials over a correct offside call against the Buffalo Bills.

Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs struggles on offense this year has even led NFL analyst Danny Kanell even went as far as to say this is the worst season of the 28-year-old QB’s career.
