“I know that it has meant a lot to him,” she said per PEOPLE. “And I think he’s hanging on because he wants to see his grandson do an amazing thing or just let him play.”

She continued, “I mean, he must be such a proud grandpa, so proud. And my mom was very proud and his other grandparents [were too].”

While Patrick didn’t get the outcome he hoped for as the Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22, Randi told the publication that his grandfather was “excited” to see him play.

What Has Patrick Mahomes Said About The Chiefs Super Bowl 59 Performance?

The Chiefs were looking to make history as the first team ever in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row. Unfortunately for the Chiefs that was not the case and as the leader of the team, Patrick has shared his grievances on the devastating loss.

“In order to make a team blitz, you have to be able to beat what they’re showing. And that’s what we didn’t do,” Patrick said per ESPN.

“I was proud of how my team fought this entire season with the expectations that we had on us,” the Chiefs quarterback said postgame. “But we did, we came up short.”

However, he is not going to let it get to him and is ready for what’s next.

“It’s going to hurt for a while, but how can you respond from it?” Mahomes said. “… And how can you get better? How can you not be satisfied with just getting here and taking your game to the next level?”
