"This better not be about Colorado brother", "Looking for a 3peat " - Fans debate Patrick Mahomes' cryptic post

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has stirred up quite the conversation with his latest mysterious tweet, coinciding with Colorado's Week 1 game.

While the Big 12 may not have a clear national title contender, it houses many quality teams. Infact, five teams from the league are ranked between No. 13 and No. 24 in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll, including Utah, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Arizona, and Kansas.

Though the league might not be a strong College Football Playoff contender, Deion Sanders' Colorado team is expected to be a major draw this season. In their Week 1 game against North Dakota State, Sanders led Colorado to a 31-26 victory.

On the same day, Mahomes' cryptic tweet featuring dartboard emojis left fans puzzled.

One fan commented:

“This better not be about Colorado brother,” a fan tweeted. “They in the big 12 now”

“Lmao dog you are not rooting for Colorado right now,” another fan commented

Mahomes' post had fans guessing. Some thought he was watching the Colorado game, with one fan tweeting,

"What game you watching?"

Another quickly responded with just one word:

"Colorado"

But Mahomes' tweet might have been about more than just the game. It could have been a nod to Shedeur Sanders, who had a standout performance in the opener. One fan even hinted at this with a GIF:

“HIT THE SHADEUR,” another commented.

“The goat giving him props. Shedeur is gonna be a star,” another fan commented.

Chiefs star Mahomes has already clinched three Super Bowl titles and three Super Bowl MVP awards. His use of three dartboard emojis might also have been a playful nod to those accomplishments with the Chiefs. One fan commented:

Deion Sanders hails Travis Hunter after Colorado win

Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter led Colorado to a thrilling 31-26 victory over North Dakota State, kicking off Year 2 under coach Deion Sanders with a bang. Shedeur threw for an impressive 445 yards and four touchdowns, three of which landed in Hunter's hands.

Shedeur was on fire, completing 26 of 34 passes with just one interception, boasting a passer rating of 219.4. After a summer filled with anticipation, the Buffaloes finally took the field and made a statement.

Following the game, coach Sanders couldn't hide his admiration for his stars.

"Oh, Travis, that's who he is," Sanders said. "I get the chance to see that every practice, every day. He don't take days off unless we force him to. But that's just who he is."

Hunter wasted no time making his presence felt, catching a 41-yard touchdown on the first drive. He followed it up with a jaw-dropping catch, high-pointing the ball for another score, and sealed the victory with an acrobatic grab in the corner of the end zone.
