Ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' season-opening trip, Patrick Mahomes has given teammate Travis Kelce a geography lesson after 'not realizing how far Brazil is' despite traveling there int he past.
As part of Kelce's jet-setting ways and following now-fiance Taylor Swift around the globe for her 'Eras Tour', the tight end did not realize the flight from Kansas City to Sao Paulo was 11 hours.
The amount of strain that an international flight can have on a person's body is why the Chiefs are flying to Brazil days ahead of Friday's clash with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Yet, it appears some member of the Kansas City roster are better prepared for the Brazilian showdown than others.
'The trainers and coaches have really done the research, and they understand what we need to do, so now it's just going down there and playing football,' Mahomes said of the long road trip over the weekend.
'I think more than anything it's just explaining to some guys how far the trip was. Some guys didn't understand how far the travel was. Travis, even though he was just down there last year, I was explaining to him how the globe works.'

It was in November 2023, with Swift's relationship fresh with Kelce when he flew during a down period of the NFL season to watch the 'Anti-Hero' singer dazzle a South American crowd.
One of the turning points in the Kelce-Swift romance took place on the trip, when Kelce was seen paling around with Scott Swift, Taylor's dad, in front of plenty of onlookers.
Taylor also changed the lyrics to one of her most-famous songs, 'Karma', during that South American leg in Argentina, noting the 'guy on the Chiefs', instead of how she originally wrote the song.
The Chiefs will take part in the second venture for the NFL in Brazil, after last year's Packers-Eagles game, with it being only a preview of an eventual playoff matchup.
Swift is not expected to make the trip to Brazil with Kelce, as every game last season she attended of his was either in Missouri, or the Super Bowl.
Yet, with Swift's tour wrapped, she may have more time to spend with Kelce than at any other period during their romance.
