Patrick Mahomes seems to have lost a bet on Texas Tech following his alma mater’s Orange Bowl loss to Oregon.<\/p>\n
Chiefs linebacker Jeffrey Bassa shared a video<\/a> Friday on his Instagram story of Mahomes wearing an Oregon jersey.<\/p>\n Mahomes played for Texas Tech from 2014 to 2016. The Red Raiders’ College Football Playoff hopes were dashed with a 23-0 Thursday loss.<\/p>\n Bassa played for Oregon, which meanwhile advanced to the semifinals, from 2021 to 2024 before he was selected by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2025 draft.<\/p>\n The linebacker told reporters<\/a> Friday he had been immediately prepared after the Orange Bowl loss to bring in one of his former Ducks jerseys for Mahomes.<\/p>\n “I definitely brought that jersey in, the all-white warp speed jersey,” Bassa answered. “Me and him were joking about it in the training room earlier. He was like, ‘Man, you got the jersey quick.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, no, man. I was not playing.'”<\/p>\n The Chiefs are watching the College Football Playoff ahead of the end of their own season, which wraps up Sunday with a Week 18 road game against the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n Mahomes, who underwent surgery<\/a> on his left ACL in December, will sit out with an eye on returning in 2026.<\/p>\n
