provided a brilliant response to a cheeky reporter asking the star to name his favourite referee. The quarterback will attempt to win his fourth Super Bowl this weekend and some fans believe referees favour the Chiefs.

One reporter tried to wind up Mahomes with two questions referring to the conspiracy theory. But the 29-year-old did not crack, initially joking along before shutting down the questions.

They said: “Patrick, for your whole career, you have had so many great people help you win. So who is your favourite ref?”

“That’s hilarious,” Mahomes responded. “All the refs are great. All the refs are great. They do the best they can. We go out there and play the game the right way.”

The reporter continued: “Is there one who you give a Christmas card to every year?”

Mahomes showed good humour and responded by shutting down the reporter, saying: “Not that I can remember! I’ll talk to some of my team-mates to figure it out.”

The Chiefs will attempt to win a third consecutive Super Bowl when they face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. No team has ever won the ‘three-peat’.

Mahomes is considered one of the greatest players of all-time but refused to entertain that label during his pre-match press conference. He insists he just wants to be the best version of himself.

“No, I’m just trying to be the greatest Patrick Mahomes that I can be,” Mahomes declared. “I mean, that’s obviously a goal of anyone’s, is to be the greatest at their profession.

“But in order to do that, you have to be the greatest that you can be every single day, and if that’s on the field and the work ethic I put in or off the field in the father and husband that I am, I’m gonna try to be the greatest in that way.

“Whenever I’m done with football, if I leave everything out there the way that I feel like I have so far, as far as effort and mentality, I’ll be happy with the results and I’ll let others talk about who the greatest is of whatever profession that is.

“I care more about the legacy of our team. You know, we’ve put in so much work and worked so hard that I want to be remembered for the team that we are and the team that we built here in Kansas City.

“I never really think about my legacy. I think about all the guys that I’ve played with and how they’ve kind of left their imprint on this team and I want us to be remembered for that.”
