Jackson Mahomes, the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has been facing backlash online after his appearance at Super Bowl LVII. The Chiefs won the super bowl by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 on February 13, 2023.
Jackson Mahomes, who has over one million followers on TikTok, posted several videos from the game and the celebrations that followed. He was seen joining his brother and the team on stage during the victory parade on February 15. He also shared a clip of himself slipping on his Nike shoes while walking on the field at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Many NFL fans criticized Jackson Mahomes for being “embarrassing” and “annoying” and accused him of trying to steal the spotlight from his brother. Some also questioned why he was allowed to be on stage with the team when he was not a player.
In response to the negative comments, Jackson Mahomes posted another video on TikTok.

The video has received over a million views and mixed reactions from viewers. Some supported Jackson Mahomes and praised him for being confident and having fun. Others continued to bash him and called him “disrespectful” and “clout-chasing”.
Patrick Mahomes has not publicly commented on his brother’s actions or the backlash he received. The two-time MVP had an impressive performance in Super Bowl LVII, throwing for 287 yards and three touchdowns. He also made a stunning play in the fourth quarter that left former Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner astonished.
Omg, I am speechless, kinda hard to put this into words. He is cheering for his brother and his team. Stay proud n keep cheering baby. Shake the haters off.
