Joe Burrow was likely already having an out of body experience with his two playoff wins over the Raiders and Titans as the team heads to the AFC Championship game, but now he is getting set to play a team he grew up loving.
Burrow’s dad posted a photo of his son in a Chiefs helmet on social media letting everyone know that he used to wear one as a youngster. The photo went viral on social media for that and another reason.
Fans couldn’t help but to notice that his mom had a striking resemblance to Patrick Mahomes‘ fiancee, Brittany Matthews.
