Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, have a compelling NFL-related name for their dog, the latter revealed in a new interview.
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes, who is frequently seen at Kansas City games at Arrowhead Stadium, are high school sweethearts who married in 2022. The couple has a daughter and a son.
During an interview with People, Brittany revealed that the name of one of their dogs was inspired by a rival NFL team. Brittany grew up cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Patrick surprised her with a dog named Steel as a Valentine’s Day gift back in college:
“I actually got Steel when I was in college. Patrick bought him for me for a Valentine’s Day gift when I was a junior. So, I actually used to be a Steelers fan and that’s how I got the name Steel, so that’s a great story.”
Their other dog, Silver, was adopted a couple of years after Steel joined the family. Silver is presumably not named after the Chiefs’ AFC West rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, whose main colors are silver and black.

Patrick Mahomes turned heads in Week 2 of the 2018 season (his first year as the club’s starting quarterback) when he lit up the Pittsburgh Steelers with six TD passes in a 42-37 victory at Heinz Field.
Mahomes went on to win the first MVP Award of his career, with the Chiefs advancing all the way to the AFC Championship Game. That would be the first of six straight (and counting) AFC title game appearances for KC, who achieved dynasty status by defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Open 2024 vs. Ravens
The Kansas City Chiefs will be challenged early in the Sept. 5 NFL Kickoff Game, when they host reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.
Patrick Mahomes is 4-1 in his career against the Ravens (including last season’s AFC Championship Game victory), although four of those matchups have been decided by a single score.
If there’s an AFC team capable of spoiling the night the Chiefs hang up a second banner at Arrowhead, it’s the Ravens. It should be another dandy of a showdown between the league’s last two MVP winners.
Patrick Mahomes Makes Shocking Confession About Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce may have won over Taylor Swift’s heart with his charming personality and looks, but teammate Patrick Mahomes believes he deserves some credit for helping the power couple come together.
Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs received plenty more media coverage and attention than usual in 2023, and not just because they won another Super Bowl. It was largely thanks to Kelce’s relationship with the Grammy Award-winning singer that went public last fall.
Swift attended the majority of Chiefs games in 2023, including their entire postseason run that ended with a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”, Patrick Mahomes made an interesting confession for Kelce: The two-time league MVP claims that he was the one who got the ball rolling on the Kelce-Swift thing:
“I like to take some of the credit. I was the one who invited Travis to his first Taylor concert…He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker. I had some input in there… ‘Just go for it. Just go for it.’ And you know Travis man, he does it…I’m glad it’s all worked out for the best.”
They haven’t been together for a full year yet, but there’s already speculation that Kelce will soon propose to Swift. Multiple reports have suggested otherwise, but only Kelce and Swift know deep down if that’s on the table right now

Mahomes didn’t put together his best statistical season in 2023 (4,183 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and a career-high 14 interceptions), but he saved his best for when it mattered most as usual.
In four playoff games, Mahomes completed 69.8 percent of pass attempts for 1,051 yards, six touchdowns and one interception as KC completed the first Super Bowl repeat since the 2004 New England Patriots.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Begin Title Defense vs. Ravens
The Chiefs will be challenged early in their Super Bowl title defense, with reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens coming to town in the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 5.
Though Mahomes is 4-1 against Jackson’s Ravens (including the 17-10 AFC Championship Game win in January), four of those contests have been decided by a single score. We shouldn’t expect anything different when the league’s two most recent MVP winners square off in the opening game of 2024.
