Fans of 31 other NFL teams are a bit sick and tired of the Kansas City Chiefs winning all the time – but Patrick Mahomes is more than happy being the villain.

“If winning football games makes you a villain, we’re going to keep going out there and doing it,” said Mahomes.

“We embrace who we are. We believe we play the game the right way, with a lot of heart and passion for the game.”

It was a similar story with Tom Brady’s New England Patriots when they dominated – something Mahomes knows only too well from his younger days as a Dallas Cowboys fan.

“It’s all fun because I was that guy,” Mahomes added. “I was a Cowboys fan growing up, and I used to hate the Patriots.

“But I think, more than anything, I appreciate the greatness of the Patriots now when I see how hard it was to do what they did.

“Hopefully we’re just giving people a great product to watch, and they can see the love for the game that we have. All the other stuff is kind of outside noise.”
