Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, January 26, the seventh straight appearance for the beloved NFL franchise since Mahomes became their starting quarterback.

However, Patrick is dealing with some family issues off the field, according to the Super Bowl MVP's mother, Randi. She revealed in an Instagram post on Friday, January 24 that her father — Patrick's maternal grandfather, Randy — is in hospice care due to his declining health. 

"My dad is in hospice & I'm lost for words," wrote Randi along with a photo next to her dad. She added a famous scripture from the Bible about obeying your parents, plus the prayer hands emoji.

This isn't the first time that Randi has asked NFL fans, specifically Chiefs' Kingdom, to pray for her dad. Back in the fall of 2024, Randy ended up in the hospital but was strong enough to watch Patrick lead the Chiefs to their fourth victory of the 2024-2025 season. The team would finish with a record of 15-2. 

Patrick and his wife, Brittani, recently welcomed their third child, Golden Raye, to the world. The happy couple are also parents to Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick Bronze, 2.
