• Last year's Super Bowl winners beat Cleveland 22-17, with Mahomes scoring one rushing touchdown and passing for another.
• Mahomes' fiancee Brittany Matthews shared clips to Instagram of Mahomes' younger brother, Jackson, and a number of friends chugging Coors Light on both occasions.
• Mahomes left the game early after a heavy hit from a Browns defender, and is a doubt for the AFC Championship game against the Bills.

Patrick Mahomes' family and friends celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs' touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday by shotgunning beers as Andy Reid's team advanced to the AFC Championship for the third year running.

Last year's Super Bowl winners beat the Browns 22-17, with Mahomes passing to tight end Travis Kelce for one touchdown, and rushing in for another - after which he celebrated in exuberant fashion, hurling the ball high into the stands of Arrowhead Stadium

On both occasions that Kansas City found the end zone, Mahomes' fiancee Brittany Matthews shared videos on Instagram of Mahomes' younger brother, Jackson, and a number of their friends shotgunning cans of Coors Light in a private box inside Arrowhead.

"3, 2, 1, Go! Open it," Matthews, who didn't partake due to her being several months pregnant, yelled at Jackson and a female friend as they chugged beers after the Chiefs' first touchdown.

After the second touchdown, she said: "TD number two, let's go!" before letting out what can only be described as a Rick Flair-esque "Woo!"

Matthews, long Mahomes' biggest fan, shared a number of clips from inside the crew's private box, cheering on her fiance and soon-to-be father of her child as he led his side to a third consecutive AFC Championship game.

While Mahomes' suite may have enjoyed the day, and watching the Chiefs secure the victory, Sunday ultimately ended badly for the 25-year-old quarterback, who was unable to complete the game.

Mahomes had to be helped off the field with a concussion after finding himself on the end of a hard hit from Browns linebacker Mack Wilson in the third quarter.

Mahomes will now have to pass through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he is cleared to play again.

As such it is not yet known whether he will be available to take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship on January 24.
