Patrick Mahomes wears same underwear every game — and only washes it after losses

Patrick Mahomes was a great “Manningcast” guest this week.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback talked a lot of football with hosts Peyton and Eli Manning as they watched a simulcast of the “Monday Night Football” game between the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills.

He successfully predicted a sequence of plays, including when and how the Broncos would score a touchdown.

He gave a lot of great insight from a seven-year career that has included two league most valuable player awards, three Super Bowl appearances, two Super Bowl wins and two Super Bowl MVPs.

I only wear them for game day, though, so I can’t get — they’re not too worn down. They’re not like these nasty [underwear] — I clean ’em.”

OK, well that seems like a good place to stop talking … oh man, no. Mahomes kept on talking about his undies.
