NFL Fans Thinking Of Brittany Mahomes After ‘Disturbing’ Incident
The Bills topped the Chiefs, 30-21, at Highmark Stadium in upstate New York on Sunday. It was Kansas City’s first loss of the season, as the defending Super Bowl champions dropped to 9-1 on the year. While Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co. struggled to get going against Josh Allen’s squad, Bills fans took some major criticism for their “classless” behavior during a pregame tailgate.
A group of Bills fans dressed up a Kermit the Frog doll in a Patrick Mahomes jersey. They then hung the doll from a pole, similar to a hanging. Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, is understandably shaken from the incident.
“Taylor’s friends said she and Travis found it incredibly disturbing,” an insider exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com. “She has talked to Brittany who was really taken aback.”
NFL fans are thinking of Brittany Mahomes and her family. That had to be a disturbing image to see.
“Don’t know much about football, but I’d guess most genuine fans wish this nonsense would end so they can focus on what happens on the field,” one fan wrote.
“Totally classless and disturbing that someone would think of doing this but not surprising,” one fan added.
“As someone who lives in Buffalo, and is a BILLS fan – while I don’t think the hanging puppet is racist, I do think it’s inappropriate and crossing the line. I don’t think we’re the only team that’s done something like this but now with TAYLOR involved in all things chief and being the queen of how everyone should act – it obviously makes national news. MOST fans are not ok with showing an effigy of a human being hanging,” one fan added.
“Certainly in bad taste, but nothing to get yer knickers twisted about – move on – next,” one fan added.
“America is becoming a joke and it’s not funny,” one fan added.

While trash talk can be fun, hanging a doll like this is crossing the line, no matter what the intention was.
Bills Mafia is known for its passion, but not like this.
