Shocking Moment: Sterling Mahomes shocks Brittany with naughty behavior she learned from Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs…see more

In the video posted by her mom Brittany on Instagram, Sterling misses the ball on her first attempt, and then whips her head around and delivers a line right out of Patrick’s playbook.

“That was a practice swing,” she said, making an adorable excuse. She had to repeat the same comment again before making contact on her third try, thanks to some helpful tips from Brittany.

“She really said that was a practice swing,” the soon-to-be mother of three wrote to her 2 million Instagram followers, tagging her hubby so he would see the funny clip of their defiant daughter.

When things go wrong on the gridiron for Mahomes, he is often the first one to reach for an excuse, too. In particular, he has a reputation among fans as “whiny” and always asking the refs to throw flags in favor of the Chiefs.

While some fans look at his attitude as “making excuses,” others will see a fierce competitor with a desire to win so strong that it has led Kansas City to three Super Bowl titles in the last five seasons.
