Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Flips Out on ‘Yankees Fan’ at Royals Game

After Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New Orleans Saints 26-13 on Monday Night Football, Patrick Mahomes and Co. enter the bye week undefeated. The Chiefs are 5-0 for the first since 2018.

After throwing for a season-high 331 yards against the Saints, Mahomes, along with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, and brother Jackson Mahomes, supported the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday, October 9.

During Game 3 between the Royals and New York Yankees, cameras captured Mahomes’ reaction after Kansas City tied the game 2-2. The three-time Super Bowl MVP, hyped after second-baseman Michael Massey’s bit hit in the fifth inning, appeared to get into a Yankees fan’s face standing nearby. However, it wasn’t just some random fan.

The guy in the Yankees jersey is Gerhig Dieter, a former Chiefs wide receiver who retired in 2022. Dieter first signed Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2017, the same year Kansas City drafted Mahomes. Gerhig, who bounced between the practice squad and the active roster between 2017 and 2022, won a Super Bowl ring with the team in February 2020.

While some viewers loved seeing Mahomes’ passionate reaction, as he’s a minority owner of the Royals, others were turned off. One fan commented, “As if he wasn’t already hateable.” Another person posted, “This is awesome.”
