Perine — who spent four seasons in Cincinnati, before signing with Denver in 2023 — and Mahomes have yet to address the moment as of Monday.

The 26-year-old played a crucial role in the Chiefs’ postseason, including scoring the game-winning touchdown in the AFC Championship against the Bills.

Mahomes took responsibility for the Super Bowl loss in a message posted to his X account after the game.

“We will be back.”
