Chiefs Superstar Confirms Using Michael Jordan’s “Switch” as Patrick Mahomes’ Mystic Powers Are Revealed

Ten straight playoff seasons. Let that sink in… The Chiefs have officially turned the postseason into their backyard BBQ. (Pan to Patrick Mahomes with his favorite bottle of ketchup!). And sure, Pat may have his secret weapon. Yes, we are talking about the infamous red underwear gifted by Brittany back in 2017. But let’s get real here. It’s not just superstition keeping the Chiefs at the top. Still, if those undies keep working, who’s judging?

Red Undies, Mamba Mentality, and the Chiefs’ Playoff Switch…. And Repeat! 

But here’s the thing: playoff success takes more than lucky charms. It’s about flipping the switch when it matters most, something the Chiefs have mastered. Wide receiver Justin Watson dropped the perfect analogy, saying, “Last year we talked about watching the Last Dance with Michael Jordan… Champions have a switch.”

He added that “last year they did hit the switch after Christmas,” and he’s right. Ask the Niners, and they’ll tell you what a rollercoaster of emotion they had to go through during the SB LVIII. So, this year, per Watson, they are “ready to hit the switch again in the playoffs.” Sounds like some serious Mamba Mentality, doesn’t it?

If you’re unfamiliar, Mamba Mentality is all about attacking challenges with passion, focus, and zero hesitation. That’s the Chiefs right now—laser-focused and ready to go full throttle. They’re not just coasting into the postseason; they’re actively finding fresh motivation to keep the Lombardi Trophy parade route alive.

Whether it’s restocking their firepower during downtime or fine-tuning Travis Kelce for another big playoff run, KC knows how to make every moment count. Let’s not forget the numbers backing their swagger. Since Mahomes took over, the Chiefs are 15-3 in the postseason. Compare that to their pre-Mahomes days, when they won one of 12 playoff games, and it feels like we’re living in an alternate timeline.

The “Rust vs. Rest” debate looms, sure—especially with a 3.5-week gap between games—but when you’ve got Mahomes calling the shots? You trust him to cook. And cooking, he does. Impossible passes? Check. Getting mystical predictions, right? Check. Or just giving the Chiefs Kingdom a collective heart attack? Check.

Mahomes does operate like a wizard in cleats… But what if we were to say that he might actually be a fortune-teller?

Patrick Mahomes, the little magician in Missouri

When Pat Sr. called his son ShowTime, he wasn’t predicting Patrick Lavon Mahomes II would double as a fortune teller. Or was he? Because let’s face it, this guy doesn’t just play football—he predicts it. Case in point: Mahomes told Justin Watson way back in May that the Chiefs would clinch the No. 1 seed on Christmas Day.

Fast forward to December 25th, and voilà, a 29-10 win over the Steelers locked it in. Coincidence? Hardly. That’s vintage Mahomes—always cooking. Watson spilled the tea, saying, “As soon as the schedule came out, Patrick was like, ‘Hey, early bye, tough stretch late, but we’ll clinch on Christmas and cruise into the playoffs.’”

And wouldn’t you know, the timing was perfect. Mahomes was battling an ankle injury, and locking up the top seed gave him extra time to heal. Oh, and did I mention? He’s also preparing for baby No. 3. Talk about multitasking—football legend by day, dad of the year by night. But let’s not pretend this season was smooth sailing for Mahomes. His numbers dipped a bit—career lows in passing yards and touchdowns, plus a career-high 36 sacks. Yeah, the O-line had some issues, and the offense limped through injuries all year.

Still, Mahomes at 80% is scarier than most QBs at 100%. You know it, I know it, and every AFC defensive coordinator definitely knows it. But here’s the deal: Mahomes is the postseason’s ultimate boogeyman. Over his last seven playoff games, he’s thrown 13 touchdowns with just one pick. Sure, his regular season wasn’t MVP caliber, but the guy turns into a cheat code come January.

Opponents might think they’ve figured him out, but even when he’s “off,” he’s never really off. Add Andy Reid’s genius play designs, and the Chiefs are a nightmare waiting to happen.
