Chiefs fans roasted Troy Aikman for his freezing cold take about Patrick Mahomes
ESPN broadcaster Troy Aikman shared a nice message for the Chiefs following their bonkers 25-22 overtime win over the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
“Congratulations to the Hunt family, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and the entire Kansas City Chiefs organization,” Aikman wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “What an amazing run they are on!”
But that’s not the X message that Chiefs fans have been responding to the most following the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl championship in five seasons.
Early in the 2019 season, an Athletic social media post noted Mahomes had thrown for 36% of Aikman’s career touchdowns in just 8% of games played. This apparently agitated Aikman, the former Cowboys star. He wrote on X: “Talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl Titles.”
That came in the midst of the 2019 season, when the Chiefs beat the 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV.
With Sunday’s win, Mahomes now has the same number of Super Bowl titles as Aikman had in Dallas, and Chiefs fans let him have it.
“This tweet gets funnier everytime Patrick gets another ring lol,” a fan wrote on Reddit.
Another shared this: “Why does anyone take shots like that? Just be humble so you don’t have to eat crow for the rest of your life. He deserves all he gets in this.”
“That didn’t age well,” a fan wrote on Reddit.
