Patrick Mahomes Had This To Say On Latest TNF News

by

Patrick Mahomes is fresh off of his second Super Bowl victory. Even though the Kansas City QB is still celebrating the team’s victory, it’s never too early to look ahead. In this case, Mahomes is looking at a move made by the NFL and the owners. A potential flex scheduling rule for Thursday Night Football has been tabled until May. However, the thought of flexing Thursday night games has not sat well with many players.

Even newly retired JJ Watt took to Twitter to voice his displeasure on the idea of flexing Thursday night games. “Flexing games from Sunday to Thursday is a terrible idea for two main reasons: 1) Player Safety You can’t make this decision and also preach that player safety is a priority. 2) Fans,” Watt wrote. The NFL legend makes a great point for both reasons he provided. Expecting a team to change their schedule on such short notice is an insane ask from the league.

Patrick Mahomes Seems To Have No Interest In Flexing TNF

While the flexing of TNF games may not be happening now, teams may now have to play two games on Thursday in one season. Asking a team to play two TNF games in one season seems like an asinine concept. Short weeks for such a physical sport are just asking for more injuries to occur. Yes, the league has made good choices, like allowing players to wear the number zero. On the other hand, the league makes decisions like this to leave everyone scratching their head. Or, in Patrick Mahomes’ case, a palm to the face.

When it comes down to it, money is the most significant factor in any major decision. The NFL wants to please the sponsors while grabbing as many eyeballs as they can. Having the option to flex good teams to play on TNF is a great move from an ownership standpoint. However, for the players, this could be a daunting challenge. What are your thoughts on the potential of flexing TNF games? Sound off in the comment section below. To follow this story and many others, subscribe to HNHH for all your sports news.

LeSean McCoy Claims Eric Bieniemy Had Almost Nothing To Do With Chiefs Success

by

LeSean McCoy is a former NFL running back who is known for making some controversial statements. Of course, McCoy ended up winning the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons with two different teams. Firstly, he won it as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Subsequently, he went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and defeated his former team the following year. Overall, he wasn’t a huge contributor to those teams. However, he had a phenomenal prime, and that is why networks like FS1 have him on their shows.

One of the biggest topics in football right now involves former Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Recently, Bieniemy left the Chiefs to become an offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. Now, he won’t have the shadow of Andy Reid over his shoulder. Consequently, some believe he can finally show his prowess as an offensive coordinator and even eventually become a head coach in the league. However, LeSean McCoy seems to think otherwise.

LeSean McCoy Speaks

During his recent appearance on Speak For Yourself, McCoy claimed that Bieniemy has very little to do with the Chiefs’ offense. He made it seem as though Bieniemy is only in charge of the run game, but only a small part of it. Moreover, he said that when it came to offensive meetings, Reid was always in charge. He believes that Bieniemy has yet to show that he can actually be a head coach anywhere. Overall, it was quite shocking and a lot of people were surprised by the comments. Moreover, some felt as though McCoy was being salty due to the fact that Bieniemy never gave him a lot of playing time. Not to mention, players like Tyreek Hill have all hit Bieniemy with massive praise.

This is not the first time that McCoy has gone after someone. He had some less-than-kind words for none other than Dak Prescott. During that instance, he called Dak trash, and many felt like he was being cruel for no good reason. For now, however, he is helping bring attention to a show that otherwise, no one would really care about. Let us know what you think of his take, down below.

Patrick Mahomes Gives Epic Speech At Chiefs Parade: Watch

by

Patrick Mahomes was the shining star of the Super Bowl. Of course, his opponent Jalen Hurts was also very good and in some ways better. However, the world will always remember the quarterback who came through with the win. This year, that quarterback was none other than Mahomes, whose Chiefs are on the verge of becoming a dynasty. In just six seasons in the NFL, Mahomes has won a total of two Super Bowl championships. Additionally, he has two Super Bowl MVPs and he even has two league MVPs. Needless to say, he is the future of the league.

On Wednesday, Mahomes and his teammates took to the streets of Kansas City for their Super Bowl parade. Overall, it was a truly epic celebration as thousands of people took to the streets to show support for their team. Although it was a cold day in February, the fans came out in droves. It was an amazing celebration of team pride and there was no doubt that Mahomes was the focal point for many.

Patrick Mahomes Gets Lit

According to TMZ, Mahomes made an epic speech once they got to the end of the parade run that leads to a grand stage. Throughout this speech, Mahomes spoke about how no one believed in the Chiefs this year. Moreover, he spoke about the team’s “rebuild” and how he doesn’t even know what that is supposed to mean. “I’mma be honest, I don’t know what rebuilding means,” 27-year-old Mahomes said. “In our rebuilding year, we’re world champs!! I just wanna let y’all know that this is just the beginning. We ain’t done yet.” Overall, it is clear that this franchise has a ton of confidence in its ability to win.

For the coming years, the Chiefs could very well become the new Patriots. If you are a fan of any other team in the league, it is probably going to frustrate you to hear this. However, it is ultimately up to teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills to stop KC in their tracks. Let us know your thoughts on the impending Chiefs dynasty, in the comments down below.

Patrick Mahomes’ Wild Superstition Revealed

by

Patrick Mahomes just wrapped up his sixth season in the NFL and his fifth as a full-time starter. Overall, Mahomes has made the most of this as he has gone to five AFC title games, three Super Bowls, and has even won two of them. Moreover, he has won two league MVPs, which is massive. At this point, there are some people who believe he is already the third-greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL. It is hard to deny that considering he has done so much in such little time. In fact, it is pretty well set in stone that he will end up winning more Super Bowls at some point.

On Sunday, Mahomes secured his second Super Bowl title. Furthermore, he was able to win Super Bowl MVP thanks to a three-touchdown performance. It was a phenomenal showcase from Mahomes, and there is no doubt his career will only get better. Although, when you are so good, you have to have some tricks up your sleeve. While speaking to Adam Schefter for his podcast, Mahomes’ backup Chad Henne revealed some of those tricks. As it turns out, Mahomes is a very superstitious guy and has quite a few quirks.

Patrick Mahomes Is An Interesting Character

Henne, who retired after the Super Bowl, told Schefter that Mahomes always needs his notes written a certain way. However, this isn’t the wild part of his superstitious ways. Essentially, Mahomes wears the same red underwear during every single game. He has never deviated from these undergarments, and he reportedly never will. They have allowed him to enjoy a ton of success, and until Mahomes starts missing postseasons, he will likely wear them forever.

At this point, you have to appreciate Mahomes’ commitment to the bit. Although, we sure hope he is washing that underwear. Otherwise, that locker room probably smells crazy. Although, when the underwear are winning your teammates Super Bowls and National acclaim, the stench is probably easier to stomach. Let us know what you think of this superstition, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Super Bowl LVII Ratings Hit Six-Year Audience High

by

Super Bowl LVII was a smash hit– with the Kansas City Chiefs holding a tight victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The game was broadcast on Fox and aired on additional digital platforms. The program averaged 113 million viewers, according to early Nielsen data. That makes this game the most-watched Super Bowl since 2017’s Patriots vs. Falcons match, which was also telecast on Fox. Additionally, the audience views skyrocketed to 118.7 million viewers at the time of Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. This marks the most-watched halftime show since Katy Perry’s 2015 performance, complete with sharks. Rihanna’s halftime show is the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history

Super Bowl LVII took place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Kickoff began just after 6:30 p.m ET/3:30 p.m. PT. The audience for the 2023 game is a relatively small rise from the 112.3 million viewers that watched 2022’s match between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. Last year, audiences tuned in to NBC for the game, so Fox gets bragging rights for significantly beating its own viewership results from the last time airing the program in 2019. That game, Super Bowl LIV, took place in Miami and brought in 102 million viewers.

When it comes to digital statistics, Fox says that Super Bowl LVII had about 7 million streams. That makes it the most-streamed Super Bowl in history. That’s an 18% increase from last year’s super bowl, and a 103% increase from the last time Fox took the reigns in 2020. That year held 3.4 million streams. Fox Deportes aired the Spanish-language version of the Super Bowl. They set a record for the most-watched Super Bowl game in Spanish-language cable television history. 951,000 people watched, which is a 25% increase from Fox Deportes’ views from 2020. This year’s Super Bowl was also the most-watched non-soccer event to be viewed in Spanish-language cable history.

The NFL had an impressive set of ratings this season, so critics anticipated the impressive Super Bowl LVII numbers. The regular season that led up to the game held record-breaking numbers across Fox, NBC, and CBS. Last month, there were strong ratings for the NFC and ACF championship games. The telecast of the Chiefs vs. Bengals game was the most-watched NFL conference championship game in four years. Ratings were 11% higher than last year’s AFC title game, making it the most-watched TV Program on any network since Super Bowl LVI. This, of course, is no longer true. Super Bowl LVII now broke that record.
