- Mike Tirico immediately needled his partner on-air, quipping that Collinsworth “beat the internet” to the backlash over mentioning Mahomes.
- The exchange circulated widely on social platforms as fans mocked the recurring Mahomes name-drop during an unrelated game.
- The comparison came during the 49ers’ 42–38 Sunday Night Football win over the Bears at Levi’s Stadium.
