A parody social media account attempted to ignite drama between George Pickens and Patrick Mahomes ahead of tonight’s blockbuster Thanksgiving game. The account posted an image purportedly showing Pickens sharing a photo of Mahomes‘ wife Brittany with the caption “Tmrw [tomorrow] we feast.”
The fake post exploited Pickens‘ well-documented reputation for trolling opponents and trash-talking on social media. His history of NFL fines for unsportsmanlike conduct made the hoax seem plausible to unsuspecting fans.

Pickens has been fined multiple times throughout his career for taunting and excessive celebrations on the field. This track record made the fake Instagram story believable to millions of fans scrolling through their feeds before the biggest game of the Thanksgiving NFL schedule.
Social media accounts quickly amplified the false narrative, and the post spread like wildfire across X, Facebook, and Reddit. Fans reacted with shock and excitement, believing Pickens had truly crossed a line with a pro quarterback’s wife just hours before kickoff.

The Real Story Behind the Drama
Both teams come into tonight’s game desperate for a victory. The Cowboys sit at 5-5-1 and need to climb above .500 to keep playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, the Chiefs face pressure in the AFC West, trailing both the Denver Broncos (9-2) and Los Angeles Chargers (7-4).
George Pickens himself is healthy and ready to play after a brief injury scare. He delivered an impressive 146-yard, one-touchdown performance last week in Dallas‘ 24-21 comeback victory over the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, Mahomes and Travis Kelce are making their Thanksgiving debut together, having just won in overtime against the Indianapolis Colts.
Will the Fake Post Actually Matter Tonight?
Despite being confirmed as a hoax, the viral post has already accomplished what it was designed to do: generate buzz. Fans are joking that Pickens has unnecessarily “awoken the beast” in Mahomes and the Chiefs”, even though Pickens did absolutely nothing wrong. The Kansas City faithful are now hungry to blow out Dallas and send a message to the entire league.
The game is projected to be a record-breaker, with the possibility that Taylor Swift could be in attendance to support her fiancé Kelce. Expect an electric atmosphere at Jerry World and millions of viewers tuning in for what could genuinely determine each team’s playoff fate.
