Patrick Mahomes’ latest off-field appearance had a family twist. The Chiefs quarterback, along with Brittany Mahomes and their three children, showed up in a behind-the-scenes Instagram video while filming a new commercial for CommunityAmerica Credit Union.
The clip doesn’t give away the full concept, but it does show Mahomes sitting inside a child’s playhouse during the shoot. It’s another reminder that the 30-year-old remains one of the NFL’s most recognizable faces, and one of its most marketable too.
CommunityAmerica has worked with Mahomes before, including during his early years in Kansas City. The Mahomes family was also part of a bowling-themed commercial in 2025.
The timing of the shoot comes as the Chiefs’ season opener gets closer, with Mahomes taking a brief detour before what is expected to be his season debut. The source material says the safe bet is that he will suit up against the Denver Broncos.
Mahomes’ impact goes beyond endorsements, though. Travis Kelce said on the “New Heights” podcast that watching Mahomes battle back from a brutal injury played a role in his own decision to keep going.
“I could see the determination. I could see the frustration in his mind that it got to this point this year,” Kelce said.
“And, you know, that was - that’s a huge reason why I’m still playing the game because I know that guy. Like, I want to be there for that guy, you know, in every aspect of the game,” he added.

Chiefs Quietly Closed The Door On A Familiar Quarterback Option
The Chiefs have moved on from a familiar face in the quarterback room, waiving Chris Oladokun with an injury designation as the roster churn continued this week. If he goes unclaimed, he will land on injured reserve, ending a stint that once seemed to give him a foothold in Kansas City after he started the teams final two games last season when injuries thinned the depth chart.
This year told a different story. Kansas City reshaped the quarterback room by bringing in Justin Fields and drafting Garrett Nussmeier, and Oladokun never fully reestablished himself amid a preseason that did not help his case and a concussion protocol issue that factored into the decision. Nussmeier has already taken over Oladokuns jersey number, a small but telling sign that the Chiefs had quietly closed the door on a once-familiar option. [Read more 🡒]
Chiefs Undrafted Rookie Forced His Way Into A Real Roster Battle
Xavier Nwankpa arrived in Kansas City as an undrafted rookie facing the usual uphill climb, but the safety turned the summer into a real conversation. After offseason evaluations and a strong preseason, he carved out a place on the Chiefs 53-man roster as the fourth safety, the kind of spot that usually goes to a player who proves he can handle more than just a camp body role.
Nwankpas biggest opening came when he was unexpectedly asked to start in the second preseason game after an injury to Alohi Gilman, and he handled the moment well enough to keep building momentum. For a player in his position, special teams often end up being the deciding factor, and Nwankpa made clear that understanding was part of how he stayed in the mix as Kansas City sorted out the back end of its defense.

Patrick Mahomes Family Video Arrived As One Chiefs Question Lingers
Patrick Mahomes and his family were back in the public eye this week as behind-the-scenes footage from a commercial shoot with CommunityAmerica Credit Union made the rounds. The clip offered a lighter look at the Chiefs star away from the field, where his name has remained central to just about every conversation surrounding Kansas City heading into the new season.
Travis Kelce added another layer to that discussion on the New Heights podcast, saying Mahomes determination to return from injury helped shape his own decision to keep playing. Even with that kind of confidence around the locker room, one obvious question still hangs over the Chiefs as they approach the opener against the Denver Broncos: Mahomes is expected to suit up, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
