The Kansas City Chiefs are back in full swing. Kicked off their 2025 season with a month-long global celebration. Football fever is rising from the heart of Kansas City to fans worldwide, all eagerly counting down to Red Friday and the preseason games that will set the tone for the year. Amid the excitement, the spotlight is on Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He says he’ll be ready to play on Aug. 5 and make the most of any opportunities during the game. “I always want to play & be out there. I trust in Coach Reid & his process fully,” Mahomes said.
After a brief cameo in the preseason opener against the Cardinals, where he threw a one-yard touchdown on his only pass before being carefully pulled to preserve his health, Mahomes is focused and ready. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid admitted there’s a good chance Mahomes might not play in the upcoming showdown against the Seahawks. “There’s a good chance he [Mahomes] doesn’t, but we’ll see how it goes,” said Big Red.
