Patrick Mahomes Shares Perfect Reason He Prefers Winning Big Games on the Road

Patrick Mahomes has been known throughout his NFL career for making more statements with his play than his words. But, even with all of his heroics, the Chiefs superstar recently revealed he doesn’t always take the noble approach when on the field.

“I like to be the villain a little bit,” Mahomes said before laughing and dapping up Burleson. “Obviously, it’s cool at Arrowhead [Stadium], be the hero and win the games and be able to host the AFC championship [game]. But, it’s just as fun, no offense to any of my division opponents, to go to their places and win those games.
