Patrick Mahomes averts disaster by ‘saving’ daughter Sterling while watching rare solar eclipse with wife Brittany

Patrick Mahomes is the master of clutch plays and proved that once again during the rare solar eclipse on Monday.

Like millions of Americans, the Kansas City Chiefs star witnessed the rare event which plunged a stretch of North America into complete darkness as the moon passed between the sun and Earth.

It was the first total solar eclipse visible in North America since 2017 and Patrick’s wife Brittany captured her family’s reaction before posting it to social media.

Mahomes was joined by daughter Sterling, 3, as the pair wore eye protection and stared up at the sun in order to get a glimpse of the breathtaking natural phenomenon.

Bronze, the couples’ fifteen-month-old son, could be seen in the background looking pretty disinterested by the whole event.

“I see the moon!” Sterling says in the clip before Patrick shared his immediate reaction to the event.

Daaang!” he says.

However, a subsequent story showed the Chiefs QB stepping in to save the day and avert disaster.

In Brittany’s last video, Sterling can be seen wondering around in the shade before looking up at the sky without any eye protection on.

‘Superdad’ Mahomes reacts quicker than anyone else and puts his hands over Sterling’s line of sight to prevent her from staring directly at the sun.
