Patrick Mahomes is ready to take over Las Vegas!
Mahomes, 28, will return to Sin City to compete in his fourth Super Bowl in six years on Feb. 11, and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback used a gif from Hangover that Chiefs Kingdom is waking up for the big game.
After the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday, Mahomes took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to celebrate the win.
With the hashtag #ChiefsKingdom, Mahomes published gif of Zach Galifianakis’ character hanging out of a convertible as four fictional friends travel to Las Vegas in the film.
In the 2009 film, Galifianakis teams up with Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms on a wild and raunchy trip to the comic strip while celebrating his bachelor party. Chaos ensues and the group is forced into a wild goose chase as they search for their lost friend.

Mahomes seemed to like the comparison to the movie and shared another gif of the characters from the movie in Las Vegas just half an hour later.
“Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce show up in Vegas,” user X the 33rd Team wrote in a post with another gif of Galifianakis and Cooper descending a casino escalator in dapper suits.
The Chiefs quarterback added three crying and laughing face emojis and reshared the post with his 2.5 million followers on the app.
Mahomes was active on Xu after the Chiefs’ win in Baltimore, also reposting a press photo of the shirts worn by the team’s defensive line in the locker room and a post from teammate Drue Tranquill.
“Big Red, T Swift, and the boys tore up your game again,” Tranquill, 28, wrote on X after the win, referring to tight end Travis Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift and head coach Andy Reid as “Big Red” in the post.

A week earlier, Mahomes and Kelce broke an impressive streak during the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills.
The duo brought their career playoff touchdown total to 16, surpassing the previous record holders, Tom Brady and his longtime tight end Rob Gronkowski, for the most postseason touchdowns by a pair in NFL history.
Brady, 46, congratulated Mahomes and Kelce on the record and called the Kansas City duo “beasts” in a post on X. “When you screw up, you’re doing something right,” Brady added.
