Patrick Mahomes Balances Super Bowl Aspirations and Doritos’ “Crash the Game” Campaign
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to shine both on and off the field. As he leads his team toward a potential third straight Super Bowl championship, the two-time MVP is also engaging fans in Doritos’ “Crash the Game” contest. With his unmatched ability to handle pressure, Mahomes exemplifies what it means to be a modern sports icon.
Mahomes on Super Bowl Success and “Creating Luck”
Mahomes, now 29, is focused on keeping the Chiefs at the top of the AFC. After a dramatic last-second field goal secured another division title, Mahomes reflected on what drives success in football.

This season has been filled with nail-biting moments, many falling in the Chiefs’ favor.

Mahomes Joins Doritos’ ‘Crash the Game’ Campaign
Off the field, Mahomes is taking part in the Doritos “Crash the Game” campaign, a fan-driven contest where creators submit commercials for a chance to win $1,000,000 and a trip to Super Bowl LIX. Alongside teammates Creed Humphrey, Xavier Worthy, and Chris Jones, Mahomes helped select the three finalists, whose ads will air during the NFL playoffs.
“What makes a great commercial is the product, creativity, and fun,” Mahomes said, noting that Cool Ranch is his go-to Doritos flavor. As a judge, Mahomes reviewed the ads with a lighthearted approach. “I’m not Simon Cowell,” he joked. “The commercials I’ve seen could all air during the Super Bowl.”
Fans can vote for their favorite ad at DoritosCrash.com, where the grand prize winner’s commercial will debut during the championship game. For Mahomes, the campaign reflects his appreciation for creativity and his connection with football fans beyond the field.
Embracing the Spotlight: The Chiefs’ Primetime Dominance

With a 15-2 record and the top seed in the AFC, the Chiefs are primed for another deep playoff run. Mahomes’ ability to thrive under pressure has been instrumental to the team’s success and further cements his legacy as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.
