If someone had told Chiefs fans three months ago that Patrick Mahomes would set the franchise record for touchdown passes in just nine games and he’d be fielding ketchup questions at a news conference, which would have seemed more unlikely?
But Mahomes’ affinity for the condiment drew national attention on Thursday, a day after an ESPN feature story noted that he likes to put ketchup on almost everything he eats, including steak.
Chiefs fans weighed in on the topic, one NFL Network analyst said anyone who puts ketchup on steak is a “psychopath,” and Heinz Ketchup seized the opportunity at some free publicity.
