Patrick Mahomes' fiancée, Brittany Matthews, and brother, Jackson Mahomes, both shared public responses to the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-24 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday (January 31).
Patrick Mahomes threw an interception on the Chiefs' opening overtime possession before Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow led a nine-play, 42-yard drive capped off by Evan McPherson's 31-yard game winning field goal.
Brittany and Jackson, who have become the center of social media scrutiny amid Patrick's success, both shared public tweets addressing the loss on Sunday (January 30) night, which came in amid uncharacteristic struggles for the former NFL MVP.
"Still an amazing season & so much to be proud of!" Mahomes' fiancée, Brittany Matthews tweeted.
"#ChiefsKingdom," Jackson Mahomes posted.
Still an amazing season & so much to be proud of! 🙏🏼❤️

Both posts came after social media users criticized a video showing Matthews' viral celebration after the Chiefs' 36-33 overtime victory against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round last Sunday (January 23), which she said she was being "attacked" over.
"I just wish I could do what I want without getting attacked every week," Matthews tweeted last Monday (January 24).

Hate is a very strong word to just be thrown at someone you don’t even know. 🤷🏼♀️

Matthews also retweeted several local Kansas City reporters who defended her actions before once again tweeting, "Hate is a very strong word to just be thrown at someone you don't even know," last Tuesday (January 25).
Matthews and her brother-in-law to be were once again the focus of numerous negative tweets after Jackson shared an Instagram story of Brittany popping open a bottle of champagne and spraying it over the Chiefs fans below her luxury suite while her fiancé's younger brother screams.
The video was reshared on Twitter by Barstool Sports personality Sean 'Quigs' Quigley, who sarcastically tweeted, "Hopefully there were no kids in the crowd tonight. Wouldn't want anyone to have to go to jail tonight."

The duo's actions have long been the subject of social media scrutiny, which included Jackson infuriating many fans after sharing a TikTok post in which he danced on the number of late Washington Football Team star Sean Taylor during a game in which Washington retired the legendary safety's number while hosting the Chiefs in October.
Additionally, a video of Jackson and Brittany went viral earlier this year when fans pointed out that Mahomes seemed to look annoyed as the two hammed it up for the camera while he ate chips at a restaurant.
