Brittany Mahomes embraces reset as Chiefs era pauses
Brittany Mahomes posted a workout selfie during the AFC Championship game with a caption that caught fans’ attention. “Vibing to this song every day for forever,” she wrote, pairing it with Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The song choice nodded to shared roots with her husband, Patrick Mahomes, and hinted at grounding rather than disappointment.For seven straight seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs owned a place in the AFC Championship conversation.

Patrick has leaned into rehab while spending time with Brittany and their children, including celebrating daughter Golden’s first birthday. The pause has not dulled ambition. It has sharpened it. Brittany’s post was not about absence. It was about resilience. The Chiefs are out this January, but the message from their most visible supporter was unmistakable.
