Patrick Mahomes is airing his dirty laundry as he admits to his dirty NFL ritual -- wearing the same exact pair of underwear in every NFL game.

"First, my wife Brittany got them for me. So I'm not throwing y'all down, but I have to wear them," Mahomes said while on the MNF broadcast. "At the same time, I threw them on that first season, we had a pretty good season that season. I only wear 'em for game day though so they're not too worn down."

It seems as though his lucky drawers work as the Chiefs were 12-4 in 2018, and Mahomes was the league MVP at just 23 years old. The Chiefs have gone on to win 2 Super Bowls since.
