Patrick Mahomes’ unfortunate typo on Aaron Rodgers’ injury gets caught by NFL fans - “Y’ALL BULLIED HIM INTO IT”

Patrick Mahomes suffered a Week 1 defeat for the first time in six seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting quarterback. They had a chance to win but couldn’t capitalize on their opportunitie. That 21-20 loss to the Detroit Lions might have gotten him out of sync, though.

He’s so out of rhythm that he even forgets proper punctuation. Missing out on a comma changed the tone of his tweet. As he always does on a football field, Mahomes found a way to address the situation, but the damage was already done.

The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player commented after Aaron Rodgers suffered an Achilles injury:

“Hate that man… Praying for the best 🙏🏽”

His statement meant that while praying for Rodgers’ recovery, he “hates” the veteran quarterback who plays for the New York Jets.

Twenty-three minutes later, though, Patrick Mahomes edited his mistake by placing a comma between “that” and “man.” That completely changed his message’s meaning. Now, it meant he hated what happened to Rodgers and not the person, which his original message had implied.

Twitter users were quick to point out the difference between the two versions, with one of them commenting:

“HE ADDED THE COMMA BECAUSE YALL BULLIED HIM INTO IT LMAO”

Meanwhile, Merriam-Webster’s Twitter account chimed in:

“Proud of this edit.”

Here are other reactions to Patrick Mahomes’ grammatical slip-up regarding Rodgers’ unfortunate injury.

Aaron Rodgers suffered the injury four plays into his stint with the Jets. The offensive line failed to account for Leonard Floyd, giving him an easy path to Rodgers.

After the sack, the 18-year NFL quarterback initially got up, but his weight forced him to collapse on the field again. The Jets medical staff helped him off the field before bringing him to a medical tent.

While the Jets pulled off a 22-16 win over the Buffalo Bills, the long-term outlook for New York’s AFC squad is gloomy. In the post-game press conference, head coach Robert Saleh shared that Rodgers’ Achilles looked terrible. It was later confirmed that Rodgers will miss the remainder of the 2023 NFL season.

Can Patrick Mahomes help the Chiefs escape a 0-2 skid?

Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions will hope to avoid losing to Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars to go 0-2 on the season. The reigning AFC South champions looked good in their season-opening win against the Indianapolis Colts.

This time, the Jaguars will enjoy a home-field advantage against their tormentors in last year’s Divisional Round. Travis Kelce’s return will boost the Chiefs’ chances, if he’s cleared to play after suffering a hyperextended knee.
