Patrick Mahomes' grandfather in hospice just days before Chiefs' AFC title game vs. Bills, his mother says

LeSean McCoy explains why Patrick Mahomes is under more pressure in the AFC Championship Game than Josh Allen: "He's chasing Tom Brady."

Patrick Mahomes' mother, Randi Mahomes, announced on Instagram Friday that the quarterback's grandfather is in hospice. 

"My dad is in hospice and I'm lost for words," the mother wrote in the post.

Randi added to her post the bible verse Colossians 3:20, which in The Bible says "Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord."

Randi previously announced that her father was in the hospital in mid-September. 

"Prayer warriors please pray for my daddy. He is in the hospital and is not well His name is Randy," she wrote on X on Sept. 14. A few days later, she made an Instagram post that read, "This is how I fight my battles. If you are seeing this, take a moment, and PRAY for my dad now." 

Now, the news that Mahomes' grandfather is in hospice comes just days before Mahomes is set to lead the Kansas City Chiefs against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game, as the quarterback is looking to become the first in history to win three straight Super Bowls. 

The news also comes just under two weeks after Mahomes and his wife Brittany welcomed his third child into the world, when daughter Golden Raye was born on Jan. 12.
