The patron saint of Kansas City has finally linked up with Pope Francis—well, his jersey did at least.

With the Kansas City Chiefs fighting for the AFC Championship this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, the bishop of the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, James V. Johnston, took an autographed Patrick Mahomes jersey to present to Pope Francis on his trip to Vatican City, hopefully earning an extra bit of luck for the quarterback along the way.
