The Detroit Lions defeated the defending Super Bowl Champion Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in last nightās NFL opener with Mahomes throwing the first opening day/night interception of his career. Dan is getting some heat for bringing Mahomesā spotless opening day record up in discussion during yesterdayās show before the game, and some are flat out blaming him for the Chiefs loss. Dan wasnāt actively trying to jinx anybody, but the facts are not in dispute.
Dan Patrick:Ā āHe had a pick-6 and yes, I did mention yesterday that Patrick Mahomes has never thrown an interception on opening day/opening night. And of course, he threw an interception and pick-6 to which Todd (Fritz) pointed out to me, texted me, āYou jinxed him!ā No! My job is to just bring out facts, thatās all Todd. I wasnāt trying to jinx Patrick Mahomes.ā
