The Chiefs quarterback and his family will be welcoming a third child during the Chiefs’ bye week.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to an NFL-best 15-2 record this season.

The Chiefs’ proficiency during the regular season affords them a bye in the opening round of the playoffs, and for Mahomes and his family, the bye week will be extra special.

Mahomes told CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson that he and his wife Brittany are expecting their third child on Sunday. If the baby comes late, the maternal Mahomes will be induced on Monday, welcoming the third Mahomes child into the world.

The Mahomes family currently has two children, three-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and two-year-old son Bronze. The coming child is a girl, and the family has not yet announced a name for the baby, or if it will also be metal-related. The family initially announced the pregnancy back in July.

The birth couldn’t come at a better time in-season, with the Chiefs not playing again until the divisional round on either January 18 or 19. Mahomes will be able to take the time off to spend with his family. Bye weeks are usually meant for rest, but surely for Mahomes, he will find himself quite tired taking care of the families’ new addition.

Perhaps the new Mahomes child could be a good luck charm for the Chiefs, who have seemingly already had luck on their side this season, far surpassing their expected record of 10-7 based on point differential.

This season was Mahomes’ first as a starter failing to surpass 4,000 yards, but, as he’s done his whole career, he’s shown up when it matters most. Mahomes led the NFL and set career highs with five fourth-quarter comebacks and seven game winning drives.

Mahomes is the NFL’s all time leader in passer rating in the playoffs, and is looking to improve his career 15-3 record in the playoffs en route to a potential fourth Super Bowl win.
