Father of Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Finds More Legal Trouble After Super Bowl

It's been a rough couple of weeks for Patrick Mahomes and his family.

The Kansas City Chiefs' star quarterback played one of the worst playoff games of his career in Super Bowl LIX, throwing two interceptions and getting sacked six times in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Days later, Mahomes' grandfather died at age 78.

And now comes news that Mahomes' father - Patrick Mahomes Sr. - is having his court-ordered restrictions tightened after a couple of incidents surrounding Super Bowl week.

A Texas District Attorney reportedly has ordered Mahomes Sr. to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet after video of him having a heated altercation in New Orleans recently surfaced. The scuffle between and him and co-former Major League Baseball pitcher John Rocker was broken up before it started, and some skeptics believe it was staged. The two played for the rival New York Mets and Atlanta Braves in the late 1990s, but some predict the stunt was merely to drive publicity for an upcoming amateur boxing match.

If so, it was a prank gone too far. Because the video prompted Texas to add conditions to his supervision.

Court documents also reveal that Mahomes Sr. missed a court-ordered drug test two days after the Super Bowl. He was due to submit a urine sample on February 11 but failed to do so. He arrived the next day and submitted the test, which came back negative.

He was arrested for driving while intoxicated in 2008, 2019 and 2024, and last year was banned from driving after being found on the roads without a valid license.

He spent 10 days in jail and is now under 'intense supervision' in his first year of probation.

The 54-year-old was given permission to travel to New Orleans to watch his son.
