The stepfather of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' girlfriend died after collapsing at Arrowhead Stadium while attending Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kansas City head coach Andy Reid confirmed the news Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.

"We're sorry to hear about what took place yesterday," Reid said. "Our prayers and blessings are with the family. I've talked to Patrick and they're doing well for the circumstance that took place.''

Mahomes' girlfriend, Brittany Matthews, posted on her Instagram account that her stepfather collapsed just before kickoff.

Mahomes skipped his postgame news conference to be with his girlfriend. While he's not expected to miss any playing time, Reid said: "If he has to, that's not a big deal."
