On Monday, Randi Mahomes — the mom of the 25-year-old Kansas City Chiefs quarterback — expressed her frustration about Monday Night Football announcers referring to her son as ″Pat."

″If this announcer doesn’t stop calling my son Pat.. ugh i may scream... lol #help@ESPNNFL @espn,″ Randi wrote on Twitter.

Jacquelyn Dahl, founder of the sports marketing agency 1UP Sports Marketing that represents Patrick, tweeted directly to Randi and the athlete's fiancée, Brittany Matthews, about Riddick's apology, sharing a screenshot of Randi's tweet on the television screen.

″The @espn announcers apologized. and no one ever called him Pat ever again,″ Dahl wrote, adding three laughing emojis.

Randi eventually responded to Riddick's apology later Monday night on Twitter, writing, ″Thanks bunches @espn@ESPNNFL its a mom thing!!″

While speaking to reporter Lisa Salters following Kansas City's triumphant win against Baltimore 34-20, Patrick explained his mom's reasoning for preferring he be addressed by his full name.

″Hell yeah, my mom said I'm Patrick and my dad's Pat, so hopefully we can start calling Patrick to keep her happy, 'cause I don't wanna hear that tonight," he said with a smile.

Patrick finished Monday's game with 385 passing yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions, ESPN reported.
