Patrick Mahomes snubs Samaje Perine while dapping up Chiefs teammates
Share and Follow

In a Super Bowl match in 2025 in New Orleans, Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Chiefs, seemed to ignore running back Samaje Perine while exchanging handshakes with his teammates after a significant loss to the Eagles.

Despite having one of his worst performances in his career during the game, Mahomes chose to skip over Perine as he went along the bench following the 40-22 defeat at Caesars Superdome on that Sunday.

Even though Perine, who joined the Kansas City team in August last year, stood up and gestured for a handshake, Mahomes opted instead to greet tight end Travis Kelce, a moment captured in a video circulating on social media.

The longtime teammates, who are close friends off of the field, shared an emotional moment together.

They shared a brief exchange and a hug, but it is unclear what was said.

Mahomes stirred buzz on social media, with some calling the moment that he seemingly snubbed Perine “weird.”

Perine — who spent four seasons in Cincinnati, before signing with Denver in 2023 — and Mahomes have yet to address the moment as of Monday.

The 26-year-old played a crucial role in the Chiefs’ postseason, including scoring the game-winning touchdown in the AFC Championship against the Bills.

Mahomes took responsibility for the Super Bowl loss in a message posted to his X account after the game.

“Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom. I let y’all down today,” Mahomes wrote. “I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me.

“We will be back.”

Mahomes failed to the get the Chiefs’ offense going.

He threw two interceptions, including a pick-six to Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Sunday.

Mahomes was sacked by Philadelphia’s top-ranked defense a career-high six times and took 11 hits.

The Chiefs were chasing a historic three-peat after defeating the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl 2023 and then beating the 49ers 25-22 in overtime last year.

Mahomes won his second of three Super Bowl MVP awards after the Chiefs’ victory over the Eagles in Glendale, Az. two years ago.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took home this year’s Super Bowl MVP award.
