Game recognizes game, and Michael Thomas is here to celebrate that fact. The first-team All-Pro wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints took some time out of his Sunday to congratulate Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Tyrann Mathieu for his team’s victory in the AFC Championship Game against the Tennessee Titans, which will propel them to Super Bowl LIV. All that stands between Mathieu and the Lombardi Trophy is the red-hot San Francisco 49ers.
Mathieu has come a long way from his impressive play with the LSU Tigers to a parting with the team due to off-field issues, then being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. He spent a year with the Houston Texans before landing a three-year, $42 million contract with the Chiefs, and so far, he’s earned every penny. Thomas shouted out Mathieu, who also joined him on the AP All-Pro first team, from his official Twitter account. Mathieu replied with words of admiration; you can view the exchange where it’s been embedded below, or at this link. It’s crystal-clear who Thomas will be pulling for when the Chiefs and 49ers kick off in Miami on Feb. 2, and it should be an easy decision for Saints fans to follow his lead.
LOVE YOU GANGSTA. The work was put in,in the dark. Glad the lights on. https://t.co/MkGYSsVStu
