Mahomes Raises $1.5 Million For Charity But Fans Criticize His Baked Potato

Patrick Mahomes received positive attention of late, with the star quarterback's foundation raising over $1.5 million for communities most in need of assistance in Kansas City

Patrick Mahomes received positive attention for the job his foundation had done, as his new restaurant with Travis Kelce garnered its first reviews.

On Wednesday, Brittany Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes' foundation, the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, posted a video to social media announcing another successful gala. The foundation is dedicated to "improving the lives of children," focusing on initiatives that "focus on health, wellness, communities in need of resources and other charitable causes."

The foundation first came to life in 2019 and was celebrating its sixth gala, which came after Patrick Mahomes pulled off a trick play to perfection in the Kansas City Chiefs' most recent game.

"The 6th Annual 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Gala!" the post began on social media. "Over 900 incredible supporters in attendance and $1,508,000 granted to 27 Kansas City charities up on stage. Thank you to all of our amazing partners who continue to support the mission. Together, we are changing lives. See you all next year!"

Fans on social media applauded Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes for their work helping the community and those most in need in said communities. "Thank you, Pat Mahomes and your Foundation, for raising money to help the youth!" a fan wrote with a heart-eyes emoji.

Another fan added: "What a wonderful organization you have patrick mahomes and the good you do for all the children of the world thank you God bless you."

A third posted a comment lauding the Mahomeses' willingness to put their money back into the community and the positive impact that money can make for those who needed it the most.

"Love you two doing stuff like this: to have the means to make differences like this. I know we all make a difference with our individual experiences, but you are in a unique position and you make use of it! Thank you!" the fourth fan wrote on Instagram.

The outpouring of support for Patrick Mahomes and the foundation comes after reviews of the signal caller and Travis Kelce's new restaurant began streaming in. Though the reviews for 1587 Prime have generally been positive, one item on the menu has been criticized by reviewers.

Many fans generally were pleased with the offerings at the Chiefs stars' restaurant, a $24 twice-baked potato has many reviewers pondering the price and whether it is worth the price on the menu.

"We ordered the twice-baked potato—since things in a box on the menu are a signature item, and this was in a box, I was excited," one review on Google read. "Probably one of the most disappointing baked potatoes I've ever had."

Another user had a more neutral review on the food - including the aforementioned baked potato - as a whole. "Food 7/10 and being gracious. Steak was not flavorful, but tender. Twice baked potato was overseasoned and looked gray," the review began.

"Fried chicken appetizer was overcooked, mashed potatoes were really whipped potatoes… like fake mashed potatoes, but had good flavor. The wedge salad was AWESOME."

Breaking News: Denver Broncos Shock NFL World with Historic 33-Point Comeback, But Are They For Real?

In a game that will be etched into the annals of NFL history, the Denver Broncos pulled off an electrifying 33-point comeback in the final 15 minutes of their Week 7 clash against the New York Giants. The Broncos, trailing for most of the game, surged in the fourth quarter to claim a stunning 33-32 victory. This remarkable display of grit has NFL fans and analysts alike questioning: Is this the real Denver Broncos, or was this just a fluke?

The Comeback of the Season

As the fourth quarter began, it seemed like the Giants had control, with a 32-20 lead. But in a turn of events that left fans in disbelief, the Broncos delivered an offensive explosion that has only been seen in the league’s most dramatic moments. Quarterback Bo Nix, who has been performing at an elite level this season, led his team on an unforgettable scoring spree. With precision passes and an unyielding offensive line, Nix showcased why he's one of the most talked-about quarterbacks in the league.

“We just need one more breakthrough, and the whole league will have to start seeing us differently. 33 points in the last 15 minutes isn’t a fluke—it's a warning to every opponent,”

Nix declared after the game, echoing the confidence that has become a hallmark of this Broncos squad.

While the Broncos’ offense certainly stole the spotlight, the defense deserves a mention as well. Though they struggled for much of the game, they came up big when it mattered most, forcing the Giants into critical mistakes that turned the tide. The Broncos' defense, now ranked in the top 10 for the season, might be starting to find its rhythm as they prepare for a tough stretch of games ahead.

Can They Sustain This Level of Play?

While the Broncos' late-game heroics are nothing short of impressive, questions still linger. Can they continue this level of play for an entire game? The Broncos have shown flashes of brilliance, but inconsistency has plagued them in previous weeks. Their early-game struggles put them in a hole that they were lucky to climb out of this time.

In the first three quarters, their offense sputtered, with missed opportunities and turnovers. However, once the pressure was on, the Broncos looked like a completely different team. With Nix showing no signs of slowing down and the defense holding firm in the crunch, it’s clear that they have the potential to make a deep playoff run.

But the Broncos' path won't be easy. Their next matchup against the Dallas Cowboys could be a defining moment for the team. If they can put together a complete game—one that includes consistency from the start—they may very well prove that their late-game theatrics are no fluke.

Looking Ahead

As the Broncos prepare for Week 8, they find themselves in a much stronger position than many expected. Their comeback against the Giants not only put them at 5-2 but also solidified their place as a top contender in the AFC. The question now isn’t whether they can be great for a quarter or two, but whether they can sustain greatness for an entire game.

“Every yard we've gained this season has led to this moment, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us next,” Nix said confidently, hinting at the big goals the team has set for the rest of the season.

As the NFL world watches, the Broncos are more than just a team to watch—they're a statement. Whether or not they can continue to play with this level of intensity and precision remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: the Denver Broncos are no longer a team anyone can overlook.
