Patrick Mahomes<\/strong> sparked another viral moment when a playful social media post coincided with Dylan Raiola<\/strong>‘s transfer decision to Oregon<\/strong>. The Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> quarterback shared a photo of himself in an Oregon Ducks<\/strong> jersey while rehabbing a knee injury, paying off a lost bet with rookie linebacker Jeffrey Bassa<\/strong>, an Oregon alum.<\/p>\n The wager came after Oregon<\/strong>‘s dominant Orange Bowl win over Texas Tech<\/strong>, Bassa’s alma mater. Yet the image quickly took on a life of its own, with fans joking that Raiola’s eventual commitment to the Ducks was “inevitable” once Mahomes donned the jersey.<\/p>\n Raiola, long compared to Mahomes<\/strong> for his playing style and look, arrives in Eugene after two seasons at Nebraska<\/strong>. His sophomore year was cut short by a broken fibula after throwing for over 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns in nine starts, though he completed 72.4% of his passes, showing strong development.<\/p>\n Despite Raiola’s arrival, Oregon<\/strong>‘s quarterback situation remains fluid. Dante Moore<\/strong> led the Ducks to the College Football Playoff semifinals but has not announced if he will declare for the 2026 NFL Draft<\/strong>. Fans, however, have already tied Raiola’s transfer and Mahomes’ jersey post together as part of a single viral narrative.<\/p>\n For Mahomes<\/strong>, this is his first postseason watching from home, sidelined due to torn ACL and LCL injuries sustained in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers<\/strong>. He underwent reconstructive surgery in Texas with Dr. Daniel Cooper<\/strong>, aiming for a Week 1 return in 2026.<\/p>\n The enforced break has also allowed rare family moments with wife Brittany<\/strong> and their three children. The couple recently celebrated the first birthday of their daughter Golden Raye<\/strong> on January 12. Brittany shared a video from the party, showing Golden wearing a “One” crown, enjoying cotton candy, and smashing a strawberry cake.<\/p>\n At one point, Golden appeared to take her first steps, drawing cheers from family, including grandparents. Mahomes<\/strong> was seen wearing a knee brace, while head coach Andy Reid<\/strong> provided a positive update on his recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Patrick Mahomes sparked another viral moment when a playful social media post coincided with Dylan Raiola’s transfer decision to Oregon.
