George Pickens’ Deleted IG Story About Brittany Mahomes Sparks Massive Online Buzz

A social media storm erupted ahead of the highly anticipated Thanksgiving matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs, all thanks to a controversial—and quickly deleted—Instagram story posted by Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens.

The post, which featured an image of Brittany Mahomes, wife of superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sent the internet into a frenzy before disappearing.

Pickens’ Fiery Week: From Calling Out Eagles Fans to a Deleted IG Story

Before the Brittany Mahomes incident, Pickens was already making headlines.
Just a day earlier, he drew attention for a heated comment on Gillie Da Kid’s Instagram post, calling Philadelphia Eagles fans “weaka*s” and claiming they were only “known for sandwiches.”

He deleted the comment shortly afterward, but fans and media had already grabbed screenshots.

Then came the second deletion—this time much bigger.

The IG Story That Blew Up the Internet

A satire account, NFL Drop, shared a screenshot of Pickens’ alleged Instagram story at 2:46 p.m. EST. The image showed Brittany Mahomes with the caption:

“Tmrw we feast.”

The screenshot spread quickly, reposted by various X/Twitter accounts and amplified by betting and parody pages.

Bet105’s official account reposted it, writing:

“Cowboys WR George Pickens posted and deleted a story about Brittany Mahomes… ‘Tmrw we feast!’”

Other fan accounts joined in, fueling the viral wildfire.

Fans Demand Answers — Grok Responds

As the image gained traction, fans began questioning its authenticity.

One user asked:

“@grok is this real?”

Grok eventually responded, stating the image was fabricated and originated from a parody account. However, confusion escalated when users noticed Grok mistakenly referred to Pickens as a member of the Steelers.

This only deepened the uncertainty, as no official NFL source has confirmed whether Pickens truly posted the story.

Context: Cowboys vs. Chiefs — A High-Stakes Thanksgiving Clash

Today’s game marks the first Cowboys-Chiefs meeting since 2021. The stakes are massive:

• Kansas City last defeated Dallas 19–9 at Arrowhead.

• Dak Prescott won his previous home matchup against the Chiefs in 2017.

• The Cowboys, now 5-5-1, are fighting to stay alive in the NFC playoff race.

• Kansas City continues to battle for AFC dominance.

With the NFC crowded, even a strong finish—like 10-6-1—may not guarantee Dallas a playoff berth.

Pickens’ Breakout Season Continues

Despite the drama, Pickens is having a career year in his first season with Dallas. According to Pro Football Reference, he has:

• 67 receptions

• 1,054 receiving yards

• 8 touchdowns

He needs just 87 more yards to surpass his personal best from 2023.

His performance has been one of the few bright spots for a Cowboys team struggling to stay above .500.

The Bigger Picture: Noise Off the Field, Pressure On It

The viral moment may be a hoax—or a real post Pickens quickly regretted—but what’s certain is that it added even more intensity to an already emotional Thanksgiving showdown.

Dallas recently strengthened its defense with the blockbuster trade for Quinnen Williams, but consistency remains a challenge. Falling to 5-6-1 would severely damage their playoff hopes.

Whether Pickens intended to stir the pot or not, the deleted story succeeded in one thing:

It cranked the pregame hype to maximum levels.
