  • Mahomes says the episode distracted him during Super Bowl week and that knowing it hurt him prompted his father to recognize the need to change.
  • Pat Mahomes Sr. pled guilty, served a 10-day sentence at Smith County Jail and calls the incident the most embarrassing moment of his life.
  • Since then he has remained sober and, as Brittany Mahomes notes, found motivation in his children and grandchildren to sustain his recovery.
  • Directed by Kristen Lappas, the docuseries debuts Aug. 14 and offers unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the Mahomes family and Chiefs archives.
