Bills Mafia Under Fire for Patrick Mahomes ‘Kermit’ Stunt Ahead of Chiefs Showdown

Buffalo Bills fans, famously known as the “Bills Mafia,” are making headlines for a viral stunt involving a Kermit the Frog puppet decked out as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The puppet, styled with a jersey and wig to mimic the three-time Super Bowl champ, was hung from a pole outside Highmark Stadium before the highly anticipated Bills vs. Chiefs game.

Photos of the scene exploded on social media, sparking a heated debate. While some Bills supporters insisted the act was all in good fun and had nothing to do with race, others argued it crossed a line, especially since Mahomes is Black. The quarterback, known for his distinctive voice, has often been compared to the iconic Muppet character—something he even acknowledged leading up to last February’s Super Bowl.

This isn’t the first time Mahomes has been linked to the Kermit comparison. The bit has made rounds with other teams too, like the Raiders, who playfully taunted him with a mini Kermit during training camp back in July.

Reactions are split, with some fans defending the Bills Mafia’s antics as typical game-day banter. But critics aren’t backing down, calling the act tasteless and urging the fanbase to do better. As the conversation rages on, it’s clear this pre-game stunt has touched a nerve beyond friendly rivalry.

As the debate intensifies, the spotlight remains on how far fans should go in the name of rivalry. The line between playful taunts and offensive gestures is thin, and this incident has sparked important conversations around it. Whether you’re a supporter defending the Bills Mafia or believe they crossed the line, one thing’s for sure: the game-day spirit is as fierce as ever.
