The Chiefs shared a video on social media from their locker room after winning the AFC Championship Game, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes addressed the team.

What caught the attention of some fans wasn’t so much what Mahomes said but that he was shirtless.

Certainly some people noticed that Mahomes doesn’t have six-pack abs., and it led to him writing on X (formerly Twitter): “Yoooo why they have to do me like that!?!?!? #DadBodSZN”

That “Dad Bod” comment from Mahomes led to people sharing memes and jokes. There were a lot of funny responses from people on social media.

Here are some of what was being said.
