VIDEO: Skip Bayless Had the Worst Patrick Mahomes-Tom Brady Take of All Time and Chiefs Fans Might Riot
By Scott Rogust
We imagine that you're all just waking up from your slumber on this Memorial Day Monday. Go get your cup of joe and a donut or two, because we're about to ruin your holiday. Well, not us, but FOX Sports' hot-air breather Skip Bayless. During an episode of "Undisputed" last week, Bayless boisterously proclaimed that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is "not even in the same universe" as Tom Brady when it comes to playing in the clutch in the fourth quarter.
Excuse us for asking Skip, but what the world are you talking about? You trying to make Chiefs fans riot and abandon social distancing?
Let's preface by saying that Brady is one of the most clutch quarterbacks of all time. We just have beef with Bayless downplaying the skills of Mahomes. The Chiefs superstar is still in the early stages of his career, but he's shown the football world just how dangerous he currently is and will be for the foreseeable future.
Bayless brings up the 2018 AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and New England Patriots in his argument, talking about how Brady led the team to victory. Yet, he seems to forget that Mahomes helped the Chiefs score 24 points in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime.
Also, we can't forget about what Mahomes did in Super Bowl LIV mere months ago. The San Francisco 49ers held a 20-10 lead late in the third quarter, seemingly clinching the win. But Mahomes went nuclear in the final 15 minutes, completing 8-of-12 passes for 141 yards and and two touchdowns to give the Chiefs their first Lombardi Trophy in 50 years.
But please Skip, please continue kicking down Mahomes for the sake of your controversial opinion. No wonder nobody takes you seriously.
