In the latest episode of Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, the iconic former New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, showered Patrick Mahomes with praise, despite the Kansas City Chiefs’ setback against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17.

During the discussion, Brady didn’t hesitate to commend the young quarterback, emphasizing Mahomes’ fiery determination and confidence displayed in the face of the Raiders. Reflecting on Mahomes’ performance, Brady expressed admiration for the Chiefs’ star player.

“Yesterday, you could see the fire in Patrick Mahomes. I love the way Patrick approaches it. His confidence as a player is evident. I don’t think he believes anyone can really stop him. I still have faith in what the Chiefs are doing, and I’ll never bet against a guy like Patrick because he’s such a phenomenal player and leader,” remarked Brady.

The conversation arose when Brady was questioned about whether Mahomes shares the same level of passion as he does.

However, the Christmas Day game wasn’t a smooth ride for Mahomes in Week 17. The Chiefs suffered a 20-14 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, marking one of Mahomes’ most challenging games in recent memory. Despite Mahomes’ commendable statistics, pressure from the Raiders’ defense, led by Malcolm Koonce and Maxx Crosby, posed significant challenges. Defensive plays by Jack Jones and Bilal Nichols, including a fumble return and an interception for a touchdown, played a decisive role in the game’s outcome.
