A relaxed Patrick Mahomes was spotted watching the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns playoff game on the sidelines just hours before his own wild-card showdown against the Miami Dolphins.
Mahomes stood near a heater and wrapped in a jacket as workers prepared the sideline for game time at Arrowhead Stadium.
Snow and parts of the tarp were still on the field as ground crews prepared for the dangerously cold temperatures.
The weather forecast was incredibly gloomy for the match, with some forecasts suggesting the wind chill during the match could be as low as -30 degrees.
Temperatures at Arrowhead Stadium at kickoff are expected to be around -5°F and could drop to -10°F, if not lower, later in the evening.

Fans were allowed to bring blankets that do not have zippers or compartments, as well as portable chargers and non-dry cell batteries to power heated clothing.
Additionally, those who want to protect themselves from the cold seats can bring 3ftx5ft pieces of cardboard to sit on.
It felt like -14 degrees with a wind chill around 9 a.m., according to FOX4 in Kansas City, but that didn’t stop a lot of fans from fighting through the conditions to get out.
ESPN NFL Analyst Robert Griffin III tweeted that the Chiefs game will have to be postponed due to weather, as will the game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers.
