🚨 BREAKING: Brock Purdy Defends Patrick Mahomes After FOX NFL Claims Mahomes Fixed Multiple 2024 Games Under the Pretext of “Strategic Losses”
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — MAY 21, 2025: In a shocking twist that’s rocked the NFL fanbase, FOX NFL analysts have accused Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes of allegedly fixing several games during the 2024 season under the guise of “strategic losses” to secure playoff seeding and rest key players.
The claim? That Mahomes — the face of the NFL and three-time Super Bowl champion — intentionally underperformed in at least three regular-season games to influence postseason matchups.
But in a bold move late last night, San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy took to social media to publicly defend Mahomes, calling the accusations “reckless, dangerous, and flat-out disrespectful.”
“I’ve shared a field with Patrick Mahomes,” Purdy wrote in an Instagram story. “That guy plays to win every single snap. This narrative is trash. He’s one of the most competitive dudes I’ve ever faced. Stop with the nonsense.”
💥 FOX Segment Ignites Internet Firestorm
The controversy began during a heated segment on FOX NFL, where analyst Skip Bayless and former linebacker James Harrison dissected the Chiefs’ losses to underperforming teams in Weeks 12, 14, and 17.
“You don’t play a clean first half and suddenly fall apart with back-to-back interceptions unless something’s going on,” Harrison said. “There’s smoke here.”
“Mahomes might be a mastermind — but maybe not in a good way,” Bayless added, implying a broader strategy to game the playoff system.
The story immediately exploded online, sparking hashtags like #MahomesGate and #FixingTheKingdom, while conspiracy theories flooded TikTok and Reddit.
🧨 Purdy’s Comments Stir Strong Reactions
Brock Purdy’s defense of Mahomes quickly gained traction. Though the 49ers and Chiefs have no direct rivalry, the two QBs famously clashed in Super Bowl LVIII, with Mahomes narrowly escaping with an overtime win.
Many fans praised Purdy’s class and sportsmanship:
“Respect to Brock for not jumping on the drama wagon.”
“That’s real leadership. One QB standing up for another.”
Others, however, weren’t convinced:
“Why defend Mahomes unless you know something, Brock?”
“These QBs protect each other too much. The NFL needs transparency.”
🏈 NFL Silent — But for How Long?
Despite the growing storm, the NFL has yet to comment on the allegations or announce an investigation. Insiders say there’s no “concrete evidence” — only speculation based on game footage and statistical anomalies.
Still, the pressure is mounting.
Sports journalist Adam Schefter tweeted:
“League offices are monitoring the Mahomes situation closely. Any formal action will depend on internal reviews and team cooperation.”
💬 A League at a Crossroads?
The incident has sparked a deeper debate across the sports world: Is strategic losing a form of cheating? Or just smart playoff positioning?
While some argue Mahomes was simply managing risk, others claim it compromises the integrity of the game.
Purdy’s clear stance sends a powerful message:
“You can question plays, call decisions into debate — but don’t attack someone’s character without proof.”
