NFL Fans Mocked Cris Collinsworth For His Silly Take on Patrick Mahomes’s Greatness
Just ahead of Thursday night’s NFL season opener, NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth made some comments about Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes that left football fans baffled.
Ahead of Kansas City’s Week 1 clash against the Lions, Collinsworth declared the game would be a chance for the nation to “find out how good [Mahomes] really is” with tight end Travis Kelce and defensive lineman Chris Jones unavailable.
“They have no Travis Kelce, no Chris Jones, their second and third best players on this great team. But they have Patrick Mahomes,” said Collinsworth. “And I think America’s about to find out how good he really is.”
Mahomes, a two-time Super Bowl champ and two-time NFL MVP, is anything but an unknown across the league, and NFL fans on social media had plenty of jokes after Collinsworth’s curious take.
