Patrick Mahomes Roasted for Reaction to Alma Mater's Win

Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated Texas Tech's hard-fought season-opening win on social media Saturday, though it wasn’t an easy one to rejoice over.

The Red Raiders edged FCS squad Abilene Christian in overtime 52-51. The Wildcats tried to go for the win after scoring in OT but failed on the two-point conversion.

"1-0," Mahomes tweeted in response to his alma mater's victory.

Some were quick to point out it might not be a victory worth celebrating.

"They barely beat an FCS team this is NOT something to celebrate," one fan wrote with a crying emoji.

"I don’t even know what I just watched," another commenter said .

Texas Tech seemed to have things under control until the fourth quarter. Abilene Christian reeled off 17 points in the final 15 minutes, including a field goal with 5 seconds left that tied the game up and forced overtime.

"Stop. We deserve better," another fan wrote in response to Mahomes' tweet.

Mahomes had a standout college career at Texas Tech. He became the full-time starting quarterback during his sophomore year and set multiple records with his strong arm and mobility.

In his junior season, he led the nation in total offense, highlighted by a record-breaking 819-yard performance against Oklahoma. Despite Texas Tech's struggles as a team, Mahomes' impressive individual stats and playmaking ability set the stage for his selection as the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chiefs

Mahomes — now a 3-time Super Bowl champ — clearly still takes great pride in supporting the Red Raiders program. They'll face a stiffer test next week as they look to move to 2-0 against Washington State.
