Patrick Mahomes revealed on Christmas Day that his wife Brittany is close to giving birth to the couple’s third child.
Mahomes and the Chiefs defeated the Steelers 29-10 on Wednesday to officially wrap up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, home-field advantage and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
And the quarterback revealed in a postgame interview on Netflix that the time off could come in handy for his family.
‘I told my wife I was gonna get her the No. 1 seed so we can go have that baby,’ he said.
With the Chiefs’ Week 18 clash at the Broncos now a dead rubber for the two-time defending champions, it’s possible that Mahomes may be rested – meaning he wouldn’t play again until January 18 or 19 for the divisional round.
Patrick and Brittany, who share daughter Sterling, 3, and son Bronze, 2, already, shared in July that they were expecting their third child.

And the family-of-four shared some holiday snaps on Christmas Eve before Patrick’s trip to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Mahomes played one of his best games of the season in the comfortable win as he completed 76.3 percent of his passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns.
And teammate Travis Kelce also had a memorable day, as he set the all-time record for Chiefs touchdown receptions.
Kelce surpassed the record held by fellow tight end Tony Gonzalez, with his 77th score of his career helping the Chiefs move to a 15-1 record.
The Chiefs star also surpassed 1,000 catches as he finished the day with eight catches for 84 yards and one touchdown.
