Victory royale.
The NFL’s partnership with Fortnite is giving players a chance to rep their favorite teams on the map, but it’s already having one unfortunate outcome for Patrick Mahomes.
Yesterday i played fortnite for the first time in a while and someone killed me with my jersey on.. don’t know how i feel about it...

It’s okay man. If it makes you feel better 99 people have to die — but do any of them truly live? Who among them can say they have 31 touchdowns and a 117 passer rating this season? Probably not the person who gunned you down while looking like you.
The new quickly spread, and immediately people leaped out to claim responsibility.

While it’s super cool that average people are getting to play games with Patrick Mahomes the player you really don’t want to see in Fortnite is Nathan Peterman. Think about it: The dude has trained for years of having the other team catch his bullets. Now that’swho I’d be afraid of.
I don’t care that he was cut a few days ago. I was too proud of that joke.
