Patrick Mahomes is inspired by his wife's own competitive drive as he heads into his fifth Super Bowl game.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback praised Brittany Mahomes' winning mindset, fiery spirit and regular pep talks to him days before his team faces off against the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans.
"She’s more competitive than I am," Patrick told reporters at a press conference Feb. 6 about his wife, who often cheers him on at games. "So when I’m calm and I'm trying to figure out what I'm trying to do and trying to make sure my mind's right, she just always gets me like, 'Let's go out there and get it.'"
The 29-year-old continued, "She always is telling me, like, she's ready to compete just as much as I am. I think having that fire, it bleeds through our entire family and it makes us, as a family, so close-knit because Brittany's going out there and being the one that's willing to lay it on the line every single day."
Brittany, who shares children Sterling Skye Mahomes, 4, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, 2, and infant Golden Raye Mahomes with Patrick, is "the competitor in the family," the NFL star said, adding, "People think I am but she is, for sure."

Days earlier, the athlete had made similar comments about his wife, who is a certified personal trainer and retired athlete, having played soccer for the University of Texas at Tyler women's soccer team and also in Iceland with professional team UMF Afturelding.
"I mean, the way that she pushes me every single day to be the best that I possibly can be," he expressed during a Feb. 4 press conference, "and she'll continue to do that."
He continued, "She knows that she's going to be at home taking care of the kids and help me out, that I better be going out there winning on the football field."
