Mahomes tells superstitious Chiefs fan to 'watch the next game at home'
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has some advice for the fan who left Sunday's game early in the hopes of propelling a comeback.
Charles Penn, who goes by the name Big Buck Chuck on Twitter, posted a video showing him leaving Arrowhead Stadium late in the first quarter with the Chiefs trailing the Houston Texans in their AFC divisional-round game.

Penn has been in attendance for several Chiefs playoff losses over the years, and he couldn't resist dropping $258 on a ticket for Sunday's game, according to Henry Bushnell of Yahoo Sports. Once the Texans jumped ahead to a 21-0 lead, Penn made the decision to leave.
"People were in my (Twitter) mentions," Penn said. "Like, 'Get ya ass out the stadium! Right now!' They swear I'm the only jinx."
Jinx or not, the Chiefs came back to win 51-31 after Penn left the game. When asked what he would say to Penn, Mahomes hilariously recommended that he watch the AFC Championship from home.

Appreciate you doing what was best for the Kingdom!
