Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., told police officers that if he gets arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI), then his son would lose the Super Bowl.

On February 3, eight days before the Chiefs won the Super Bowl 25-22 against the San Francisco 49ers, Mahomes Sr. was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Tyler, Texas. 

He was released on a $10,000 bond following his arrest.

New footage obtained by reporters on Friday shows him claiming his son’s then-potential Super Bowl loss during his first arrest.

“My son is getting ready to play in the f–kin’ Super Bowl, OK,” Mahomes Sr. told a police officer

“I am not drunk,” said Mahomes Sr., a former pro-baseball pitcher. “I promise you, OK. I’ve had some drinks, but [Mahomes] can’t have this right now. This can’t – listen, this can’t happen.”

“Who’s your son,” the officer asked him.

“Patrick Mahomes, OK,” he replied. “And – and – and he can’t have that right now.”

The footage shows Mahomes Sr. telling the police that his son is “getting ready to play in the f–kin’ Super Bowl and – and I’m doing interviews – five or six a day – and then now this sh–‘s going to be on the news, which is going to f–k with him – and it’s probably gonna f–k him up.”

“He probably won’t win the Super Bowl, but that’s fine,” he stated sarcastically. “If that’s – I mean, if that’s what y’all want to do. That’s good.”

Mahomes Sr. had also been arrested on June 29 for driving with an invalid license in Smith County, Texas.

According to court documents, the former pitcher was cited around 8:30 p.m. for operating a vehicle without a valid license. He also received a warning for ignoring traffic signs, suggesting a potential moving violation led to the traffic stop.

Three months earlier, a grand jury in Smith County indicted Mahomes Sr. on charges listed as “Driving While Intoxicated 3rd or More,” suggesting a minimum of two earlier convictions for similar offenses.

If he is convicted, Mahomes Sr. could receive harsh penalties. The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $10,000.
