The Kansas City Chiefs entered their bye week on a low note following a 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took responsibility for his mistakes and sent a strong message to the team.
“There’s no easy game coming up, and there’s no more chances that we can really take losses,” Mahomes told reporters. “So, I mean, you got to learn from it fast, and we got to be better as a team offensively. And I think we’ll just continue to push away and learn on this bye week and then come back and be ready to play our best football coming off of it.”
During the break, Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, stayed busy. Brittany joined Patrick, who was a guest picker on ESPN’s “College GameDay” program on Saturday in Lubbock, to watch his alma mater, Texas Tech, hand BYU their first loss of the season.
The couple is expected back in Kansas City for the NWSL quarterfinal playoff game at CPKC Stadium on Sunday, November 9. Brittany, a former soccer player, is a founding co-owner of the Kansas City Current, along with owners Chris and Angie Long. Patrick Mahomes joined as a co-owner in January 2023.
The Current, the No. 1-ranked team in the league, take on Gotham FC (No. 8) on Sunday. Considered runaway favorites to win this year’s championship title, the Current became the fastest team to clinch the NWSL Shield. They also earned the most wins (21), scored the most points in a single season (65), and conceded the fewest goals (13).
However, the team received concerning news on the eve of the playoffs.
### The Current’s Back-to-Back Golden Boot Winner Is ‘Questionable’ With a Hip Injury
Current star Temwa Chawinga, who scored 15 goals with three assists this season, became the first back-to-back Golden Boot winner since Sam Kerr in 2019. Unfortunately, Chawinga suffered an adductor injury on October 18 and has not played since.
With their star striker out, Kansas City saw its 17-game unbeaten streak come to an end with a 1-0 loss to the No. 10-ranked Houston Dash. Due to her injury, Chawinga announced she had to turn down the opportunity to compete with the Malawi national team during the international break.
On the eve before the 2025 NWSL playoffs, the team officially listed Chawinga as “questionable” on the injury report. While the 27-year-old sitting out would be a huge blow for the Current, the team was able to defeat the San Diego Wave 2-1 without her during their regular-season finale.
### Brittany Mahomes Joins the NWSL’s Star-Studded Advisory Board
Following the Current’s historic success this year, Brittany Mahomes is joining an A-list group to help the NWSL continue to grow.
On November 6, Boardroom and the NWSL announced the formation of a new advisory board made up of athletes, investors, and cultural icons. This group will focus on marketing, branding, fan engagement, and player initiatives starting in 2026.
Commissioner Jessica Berman stated the group will serve as mentors and cultural connectors while helping expand the league’s reach through partnerships and appearances in NWSL campaigns—a move that underscores the growing influence of women’s sports.
Patrick Mahomes proudly shared the announcement on his Instagram Stories, celebrating Brittany’s new role in shaping the future of the NWSL.
