Viral Photo Of Stephon Gilmore and Patrick Mahomes Closely Chatting Has People Freaking Out

There is now a viral photo going around of Stephon Gilmore and Patrick Mahomes after the game. They were seen very closely talking after the game which has caused some people to be very concerned about the future for Mahomes.

The New England Patriots were beaten pretty handily by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. The game was forced to be postponed after Cam Newton tested positive for COVID-19. After no other Patriots tested positive, the game was able to be played only one day later. This was lucky, as if there would have been more positives, it could have been postponed for much longer.

This was very bad timing for the Patriots, who were on a bit of a role going into the 4th week of the season. Newton and the offense were rolling and looking very impressive. Sadly, without Newton, the Patriots were not able to go much of anything offensively.

Bill Belichick gave us an update on Newton recently.

“We’ll take it day by day. Today is Tuesday,” Belichick said during his weekly interview. “I’m not going to try to make any predictions or read into a crystal ball on where things are going to be Friday, Saturday, or some other day in the week. There are so many unpredictable factors here. You just can’t nail them down. So we’ll work with what we can work with.”

But a few days later, Stephon Gilmore tested positive as well. This was the only other positive test so far for the team. But there could be more to come. But after it was announced that Gilmore tested positive, fans noticed something.

Now people are wondering if the NFL should do something about it. Here is what one person suggested:

Is it time to mandate face shields in the helmets of NFL players? Seeing that picture of Stephon Gilmore breathing into Mahomes’ face on MNF is cringe-worthy.
