The Unexpected Thing Patrick Mahomes And Tom Brady Have In Common
The Super Bowl LV has everyone on the edge of their seats. Quarterback Tom Brady has led yet another team to the pinnacle of the sport and will be competing against the defending Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback and 2018's MVP Patrick Mahomes won the championship for the Chiefs the year prior. So, this upcoming event will definitely showcase the best of the best when it comes to NFL football.
The 2021 Super Bowl will be Brady's tenth appearance in the big game and first with his new team. After the 2019 season, Brady's contract with the New England Patriots expired and he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent. It was a historic moment in Brady's career after playing his first 20 seasons with New England. However, what makes it even more monumental is the fact that he once again has led a team to the Super Bowl. According to ESPN, Tampa hasn't made it into The Super Bowl since 2003. The game will also be played for the first time ever at a team's home stadium. Super Bowl LV is taking place at the Buc's Raymond James Stadium in Florida.
So, while every football fan is anxiously awaiting this showdown, we've decided to bring some comic relief and share what these two quarterbacks have in common. Keep reading to find out what they've both accidentally have done before.
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes both share awkward encounters
Wondering what these two athletes have in common? Turns out, they both have accidentally walked into the wrong house before. Both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have a shared experience when it comes to mixing up the address of their football coaches with strangers. Some would call it a bad house call, but football fans would call it the best surprise.
Back in April 2020, Chiefs Wire reported that Brady opened up about getting acclimated to his new hometown in Tampa, where he also shared a funny moment. He explained a time when "he planned to visit the home of offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich." Brady then said that he "walked into the home next door without knocking before locking eyes with the owner and realizing he was in the wrong house."
Sports Center shared the story of Brady's mishap on Twitter where Mahomes was able to share a similar story. Mahomes posted the tweet with his own "bad house call," writing, "Haha crazy part is i have actually done this before in Kansas City going to QB coach's house." The resident who Mahomes surprised saw the tweet and replied with a photo they took after the incident. And based off the photo shared, we definitely don't think they minded the mix-up.
So, if you know you live near a NFL professional coach, next time you hear a knock, it may just be one of your favorite football players at your door.
