Patrick Mahomes got so drunk during Super Bowl parade he gave Chiefs fan the Lombardi Trophy

For the second year in a row, the Kansas City Chiefs were denied a trophy parade.

The NFL’s most dominant franchise in recent memory fell just one game short of a remarkable three-peat in 2025 before missing the posteason entirely in 2026.

Instead, it was the city of Seattle in party mode after the Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX.

GM John Schneider made a joke about Kenneth Walker trying to negotiate an extension, while holding a red Solo cup as the team enjoyed the festivities.

“Must’ve been da liquor he drinking cuz I never said dat shi!” the running back responded on his Instagram story with two laughing emojis.

Super Bowl parades can get pretty wild – just ask the legendary Tom Brady – or even Mahomes.

Three years ago, it was the Chiefs who beat the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl LVII.

They celebrated with a championship parade a few days later, where Mahomes and his teammates displayed the Lombardi trophy to fans.

Patrick Mahomes goes viral for all the right reasons

At one point, Kansas City’s quarterback stole the show, when he got so excited that he accidentally gave a fan the iconic prize.

Wearing a custom-made WWE championship belt, Mahomes chugged beers and wore ski-goggles before he accidentally handed over the prestigious silverware to a fan in attendance.

Video footage showed Mahomes having a blast as he interacted with fans and posed for photos.

However, in his compromised state, he handed over the trophy to a fan and walked off.

“Patrick Mahomes was so wasted at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade that he gave a fan the Lombardi trophy”, one person wrote at the time.

“Did bro just give them the trophy?” another asked.

“Damn, Mahomes just gave away the Lombardi like ‘it’s okay I’ll get another one next year,'” a third added.

However, fan footage from the parade showed not all was as it seemed.

As someone pointed out, it doesn’t appear the trophy Mahomes gave away was the actual Lombardi Trophy.

The NFL create many replica trophies for winning teams because presumably they don’t trust players with the real thing.

The trophy Mahomes was in possession of had a Chiefs sticker plastered over it, which the real Lombardi Trophy doesn’t have.

One fan confirmed the story that it was indeed a replica trophy when speaking to a radio station days after the parade.

“I came to the first parade with the same trophy – it’s a replica by the way – he never handed me the real one,” the man, named as Vinnie Garofalo said.

“He takes the trophy, raises it up, walks around, gives me a smile.

“Then he comes back, asks for the trophy again, walks away, gives it to Kadarius Toney. They’re messing around with it, he comes back, I ask him for a picture, he graciously waited for me to fumble around on my phone to get a front-facing camera.

“Took the picture, handed me the trophy, which is what everyone saw, and went about on his merry way.”
