Kansas City Chiefs quarterbackPatrick Mahomesis hoping his younger brother, Jackson Mahomes, can learn from a tenuous interaction he had with a Baltimore Ravens fan this past weekend.
In avideothat has since gone viral on social media, 21-year-old Jackson was filmed grabbing a water bottle and pouring it on a fan at Maryland’s M&T Bank Stadium following his brother’s loss to the Ravens on Sunday. A fan wearing a Ravens jersey had apparently taunted Jackson just moments before.
“I’m so sorry for you!” the fan is heard saying in the video, which followed the Ravens 36-35 win over the Chiefs.
“Yeah, I mean, obviously it’s something that we don’t want to necessarily do,” Patrick told the newspaper of his younger brother’s actions. “There was things said to him, and Brittany, that you don’t see kind of on the clip. But, I mean he’s been good at it, at not trying to respond to that stuff.”

Patrick said he hopes Jackson can learn from the situation moving forward.
“He takes a lot and he’s usually pretty good at it,” Patrick added, “and he’ll learn from it and just try to stay away from those people as best he can.”
Jackson responded to the incident on social media, simply writing, “they were thirsty,” in response to a tweet of the video.
