A countdown to kickoff? Sure, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has heard of that.

However ... a countdown to Halloween? That is something new for the two-time NFL MVP. But, hey, guys learn all kinds of new things when they become fathers.

Mahomes was asked this week at a news conference if his kids were ready for Halloween on Friday, and he shared a bit about the countdown.

“They’re very ready for Halloween,” Mahomes said. “We’re on, like, the countdown. I didn’t know there was a countdown to Halloween. I thought it was only Christmas, but every night, it’s like, ‘How many more nights do we have until Halloween?’

“And so they’re very excited, and so (we’re) trying to knock everything out so that Friday I’m able to go out there and enjoy that with them and get a lot of candy and, I’m sure, try not to give them too much of it.”

During his weekly interview on 96.5 The Fan, Mahomes said he and wife, Brittany, the Current co-owner, will take their kids trick-or-treating. And the family had costumes already picked out for 4-year-old Sterling, 2-year-old Bronze and 9-month-old Golden.

Bronze came up with the costume idea for the family, Mahomes said in a radio interview. And we got a look Friday at what it was: “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”

Patrick Mahomes was dressed as the Miles Morales Spider-Man, while Sterling was Gwen Stacy, Bronze was the good ol’ fashion Spider-Man I know and love. And Brittany Mahomes was Aunt May.

My colleague Pete Sweeney coined the term, Mahalloween, and I like it.

Creed is a ‘Beauty’

Mahomes wasn’t the only Chiefs player to get in on the Halloween fun.

Center Creed Humphrey and his girlfriend Ana Demmers also dressed up and they put a new spin on “Beauty & The Beast.”
