What was Patrick Mahomes thinking?

Cameras caught Patrick Mahomes’s awfully bizarre reaction to RJ Harvey’s game-winning touchdown in Thursday night’s Christmas Day game.

Patrick Mahomes’ 2025 season ended when he tore his ACL in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-year-old could only watch Thursday’s prime-time game from an Arrowhead Stadium suite. The Broncos squeaked out a 20-13 victory to secure the season-series sweep.

The Kansas City defense and third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun kept the game surprisingly close. But Bo Nix’s late go-ahead one-yard touchdown pass to rookie running back RJ Harvey and a late defensive stand helped Denver avoid the upset.

After the game-winning score, Amazon Prime Video cameras showed Patrick Mahomes smiling. Why exactly he did this is unclear, but perhaps he’s on Team Tank at this phase of the season?

At least he’s maintaining a positive attitude.

Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs Have A Lot To Sort Through In The Offseason

Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III advised Patrick Mahomes to sit out the 2026 season and focus on his recovery. Mahomes probably won’t do that, but there’s a real possibility that he won’t be ready for the start of next season.

Aside from Mahomes’ health, the Chiefs have other question marks to address. If Travis Kelce decides to retire, Kansas City will be short of a tight end. The running back room needs a boost, with Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco pending free agents.

There could be drastic changes on the defensive side of the ball as well. Additionally, might Andy Reid consider replacing offensive coordinator Matt Nagy after a disappointing season on that side of the ball? Reid doesn’t like firing assistants, but he may not have a choice.

The Chiefs dominated the NFL from 2019 to 2024, claiming five AFC Championship titles and three Super Bowl victories. But if they’re going to return to the top, they’ll have to prepare for some difficult changes.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
