Twitter reacts to Justin Simmons picking off Patrick Mahomes yet again

Justin Simmons has six career interceptions against Patrick Mahomes. No other player in the NFL has more than two.

Patrick Mahomes is going to have nightmares about Justin Simmons.

Simmons picked off a Mahomes pass late in the first quarter of a Sunday Night Football showdown between the Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.

That marked the sixth time in his career that Simmons has grabbed an interception off a Mahomes pass. No other player in the NFL has totaled more than two interceptions against Mahomes.

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to Simmons’ latest takeaway:

Simmons, of course, played for the Denver Broncos from 2016-2023, which gave him an opportunity to play against Mahomes and the Chiefs twice a season.

Denver released Simmons this spring to save salary cap space and the 30-year-old safety ended up signing with Atlanta. Sunday marked his first interception as a Falcon. Simmons now has 31 career interceptions since he entered the NFL as a third-round pick out of Boston College in 2016.
