NFL fans spot optical illusion in Patrick Mahomes' helmet - Chiefs star's incredible sighting

NFL fans spot unbelievable optical illusion in Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes' cracked helmet during playoff game against Miami.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a standout performance in the team's playoff game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. However, fans were quick to notice an unusual optical illusion in Mahomes' cracked helmet during the game.

The two-time Super Bowl champion experienced an equipment malfunction when his helmet broke during a play in the Chiefs' 26-7 victory over the Dolphins. The game, played at Arrowhead Stadium, took place in frigid conditions with temperatures as low as four degrees.

In the third quarter, Mahomes ran for a first down and was hit by Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott, causing a chunk of his helmet to break. Fans noticed that the crack in Mahomes' helmet appeared to resemble a cut-out of the Grim Reaper, a mythical character known for wearing a dark cape and carrying a scythe.

Despite the unusual appearance of his helmet, Mahomes continued to play with it for two more plays before officials made him replace it with a new one. The cold weather likely contributed to the helmet's breakage, as the game was the fourth-coldest in NFL history.

After the game, Mahomes spoke to reporters about the challenges of putting on the new helmet in the cold weather. He mentioned that the backup helmet was frozen and difficult to put on initially, but the team was able to make adjustments on the sideline.

Despite the equipment issue and challenging weather conditions, Mahomes threw for 262 yards and one touchdown in the game. The Chiefs will advance to the next week's divisional playoff round following their victory over the Dolphins.
