Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, is eager to play in Germany.

Patrick Mahomes is wiping away the worries of many German NFL fans.

After playing against the Denver Broncos on Sunday with the flu, there were already initial reports that the Kansas City Chiefs superstar might miss Sunday’s game in Frankfurt against the Miami Dolphins. Such thoughts, however, don’t even cross Mahomes’ mind.

“Yeah, I was a little sick before the last game. But I’m feeling better and ready to travel to Germany,” the pass rusher clarifies.

“This will be my first trip to Germany. I work with some companies from Germany like Adidas and Hugo Boss. But until now, the opportunity to travel to Germany never came up.”

As for what else he knows about Germany? “I know there is a soccer team there, Bayern Munich, that dominates the league. I’m looking forward to coming over and experiencing it myself. “

Patrick Mahomes: “Football is becoming a global sport “

Mahomes registered what a great atmosphere there was last year when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers met the Seattle Seahawks in Munich. This was the first NFL regular season game in Germany. “From what I’ve heard from some of the guys, it was a great atmosphere. Blaine Gabbert was in Germany last year with Tampa Bay. He told me the whole shebang was incredible. “

He is looking forward to experiencing it himself now. “It’s exciting to see people embracing football. Obviously football is becoming a worldwide sport, and now it’s even becoming an Olympic sport. Now to take that stage and represent the NFL is a great opportunity. “

Super Bowl in Europe?

The superstar would not be surprised if the NFL expands its activities in Europe even further. “I know the NFL is definitely interested in playing more games in Europe, playoff games, Super Bowl and things like that.”

But he said his focus is solely on the upcoming game in Frankfurt. “I expect it to be exciting,” he says, hoping for support from the many Chiefs fans in Germany. “A friend of mine had sent me a video of the game in Germany. There were a lot of people in Chiefs jerseys on it. I’m looking forward to seeing the Chiefs fans and their support on site myself now. “

Patrick Mahomes: respect for the Miami Dolphins

Possibly Kansas City will need the support badly, as a tough opponent awaits in the form of the Miami Dolphins. Just like the Chiefs, the Dolphins have a record of six wins and two losses. While Kansas City lost to the Broncos last weekend, Miami boosted its confidence with a triumph against the New England Patriots.

“This is a great football team with great players at all positions,” “I think Tua is playing an unbelievable season. Tyreek (Hill, wide receiver) is also playing an incredible and even historic season. It’s going to be a great challenge for us. If we want to win this game, we have to play our best football. “
