When you’re league MVP and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes slinging it all over the field and dominating highlight reels, NFL fans will forgive most of your perceived annoying traits. However, if you’re in his orbit, like fiancée Brittany Matthews and brother Jackson are, the peanut gallery’s tolerance for shenanigans is much lower.This season, the two people in the Chiefs quarterback’s inner circle have been a lightning rod of controversy.
