Fans can’t stop reacting after Antonio Brown turns Patrick Mahomes into a Coldplay-style meme moment | NFL News
Former NFL star Antonio Brown has found his way back into the spotlight, trolling Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in a viral post that had the entire internet laughing, arguing, and wondering what on earth they’d just seen. The former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver shared an edited image of Mahomes cuddling with a game official, turning a Coldplay-style moment into one of the funniest controversies of the week.
A Coldplay concert moment turns into a full-blown NFL meme storm
Antonio Brown’s post was more than just a jab — it was a remix of pop culture and football humor. Inspired by a recent viral moment from a Coldplay concert where a couple was caught on the kiss cam, Brown replaced the lovers with Mahomes and an NFL referee, captioned it, “a true love story,” creating a parody that instantly caught fire online.Within hours, fans flooded his comments section with their own reactions. One wrote, “Love is magic. Every story is magic,” while another laughed, “Hahahaha. Coldplay.” A third fan chimed in, “Chris Collinsworth is jealous,” sending social media into complete meltdown.The humor, though, was rooted in controversy. During the Chiefs’ 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions, Mahomes threw a 12-yard pass to Travis Kelce that appeared to hit the ground before he secured it. Before the officials could review the play, Kansas City rushed to the line and snapped the next down — making the call stand as a completed catch.
Chiefs find their rhythm again, but fans aren’t done talking about the call
The victory helped Kansas City bounce back from a shaky 2-3 start after a disappointing Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mahomes looked sharper, and Kelce — who entered the game with 22 receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns — once again proved to be his go-to target.But while the scoreboard favored the Chiefs, the online debate didn’t. Fans accused the referees of favoring Kansas City, reviving long-standing chatter about the league’s supposed bias toward Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champions. The game might have ended on the field, but online, the conversation only grew louder — especially after Brown’s meme added a spark of humor to the outrage.
