State Farm’s Sneaky Move: Yanks Patrick Mahomes’ Ad Off the Air—But We’ve Got the Deleted Commercial Right Here for You [VIDEO]

Patrick Mahomes is in uncharted territory right now.
The Kansas City Chiefs are out of the playoffs for the first time in his career. He’s also seen his season end prematurely for the first time.
It’s probably the first time he’s had one of his commercials taken off television before its time, too.
The superstar quarterback was the subject of an ad alongside singer Meghan Trainor, which debuted last August. Given her name, Meghan played a trainer trying to treat Mahomes, poorly at that, while Chiefs athletic trainer Julie Frymer dealt with another player.
Trainor is shown trying to put a knee brace on Mahomes’ arm in a knee brace. The commercial was pretty successful, not to mention funny… until it wasn’t.
Things changed once Mahomes went down with a season-ending knee injury while playing the Los Angeles Chargers in mid-December.
He’s said to be keen on a return at the beginning of next season. However, he has also been advised to take a break until 2027.
Patrick Mahomes’ Ad was Taken Off TV 2 Days After His Injury
The QB was still wearing a brace as of last week. He was also caught wearing an Oregon jersey after getting suckered by a teammate.
Meanwhile, head coach Andy Reid has made claims that he has been working closely with Frymer since his surgery.
As for the ad, it was pulled by State Farm shortly after the injury.
According to iSpot, it made 900 million TV impressions but hasn’t aired since December 16. Mahomes sustained the injury on December 14.
The ad is off television, but it’s still on YouTube and can be seen below:
The insurance company is currently running another ad with Mahomes and Chiefs guard Trey Smith.
