Why Patrick Mahomes Says He Doesn’t ‘Do Fireworks in July’

Patrick Mahomes is in full revenge mode. After a humbling Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is treating this offseason with a level of intensity that rivals midseason form. While others were lighting fireworks on July 4th, Mahomes was focused on one thing—getting back to the top. But his focus and hard work didn’t stop him and Brittany Mahomes from enjoying a the holiday completely.

Patrick Mahomes Says He’s All Business After Super Bowl Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is used to winning—but after a crushing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, the two-time NFL MVP is treating this offseason differently. The typically lighthearted star made it clear: July 4th isn’t a time for celebration.

“I don’t do fireworks in July,” Mahomes said with a sly smile, according to Chiefs Outsider on X. “I do them in February.”

That one-liner speaks volumes. The Chiefs were dismantled in a 40–22 Super Bowl defeat that felt even more lopsided than the score. For Mahomes—a three-time Super Bowl champion and three-time Super Bowl MVP—it was a rare humiliation, and one he clearly hasn’t forgotten.

Now 29 years old and entering his prime, Mahomes was spotted walking into the Chiefs facility for offseason conditioning while the rest of America fired up the grill.

Brittany and Patrick Still Found Time to Celebrate in Style

Despite Mahomes’ steely mindset, he and wife Brittany still made time for a low-key Fourth of July celebration with friends. Brittany, 29, gave fans a glimpse into their getaway on Instagram, sharing photos of the couple lounging on a boat in Miami.

“Red, White & Y’all🤍❤️💙,” she captioned the post, which included solo shots in a string-detailed blue one-piece and a sweet moment of Patrick kissing her on the temple. In matching blue swim trunks, Mahomes looked relaxed but noticeably fit—something fans didn’t miss.

The NFL star has been playfully teased online for his so-called “dad bod,” but his trainer, Bobby Stroupe, insists Mahomes’ build is perfect for football. “His body type is not what you would think of,” Stroupe told The Athletic, but added it gives Mahomes a durability edge.

Mahomes himself leaned into the discussion earlier this year in an interview with TIME, saying, “I have a great body for a quarterback. You’ve got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take.”
