Patrick Mahomes celebrated AFC title win with a Kermit meme

Patrick Mahomes is heading to his fifth Super Bowl appearance and will be the first quarterback to reach that many big games before his 30th birthday. While the quarterback has found success in his young career, his competitors and those who aren't fans of his have always found ways to poke fun at his voice.

For years, Mahomes has been compared to Kermit the Frog, something he has previously dismissed. This past summer, the Las Vegas Raiders utilized a Kermit the Frog puppet to mock their division foe. Even during the Buffalo Bills' regular-season game versus the Chiefs, rival fans showed the puppet.

Mahomes has embraced the label after leading his team to its fifth AFC championship. The 29-year-old celebrated the big win with a post on X and then included the well-known meme of Kermit drinking tea.

Mahomes will now try to do something no other NFL team has done in history: win three straight Super Bowls.
