Best moments from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, TE Travis Kelce’s win in ‘The Match’

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce were crowned champions once again on Thursday.

Instead of winning Super Bowls on the gridiron, they hit the links at Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas, Nevada to take on Golden State Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in “The Match.” Mahomes, Kelce, Curry and Thompson raised plenty of money for charity during the event, but the dynamic Chiefs duo also emerged victorious.

Here’s a look at some of the best moments captured from Mahomes and Kelce’s latest win:

Commentators pick against the Chiefs

Some, Deja Vu for Chiefs fans as “The Match” began. In Super Bowl LVII, the majority of commentators picked against Kansas City in the pregame coverage. Three of the five commentators picked against Mahomes and Kelce this time around. It turned out ot be a good omen.

 

Patrick Mahomes can't miss on the green

Practically every time Mahomes got on the green during the first six holes, he was unstoppable. This shot was among his best of the night.

Travis Kelce had his game face on during “The Match.” People thought that he might be the weak link, but he had a great swing on this Par 3. All he needed was a beer to get him loose before nailing the shot.

Patrick Mahomes only makes good TV

Patrick Mahomes had the quote of the night addressing commentator Ernie Johnson while he was riding in his golf cart. 

“Ernie, I told you I’m going to make it good TV, it’s just what I do,” Mahomes said. “It’s just what I do. You’ve never seen me win a blowout, I just keep it real close to the end.”

It’s sure to be a popular meme during the upcoming NFL season.

Von Miller, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were on the same team for four hours

Von Miller mentioned a few times during the broadcast how he was excited to be teammates with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for a few hours. Part of that excitement stems from the friendly $10K bet he made with Draymond Green regarding the winners of “The Match.”

He bet on the right horse… or is it a Buffalo now that he’s with the Bills?

Fender bender

The custom golf carts for “The Match” are set to be auctioned off to benefit the No Kid Hungry charity following the game. A few of them won’t be so pristine after Von Miller caused a bit of a fender bender on Thursday.
