The Dolphins and the Chiefs clashed in the wild-card round at Arrowhead Stadium in January 2024. Elliott and Mahomes collided head-on during a play, cracking the quarterback's helmet.

Elliott discussed his playing style on Friday before making a humble request to the three-time Super Bowl MVP.

"I have always been perceived as a crash dummy, a little bit," Elliott said (4:30), via "Not Just Football With Cam Heyward." "I have toned it down as I have gotten older. Gotten better with it, more safe with my body, so I can extend my career. I still knock somebody if I have to, legally.

"I have that picture, actually. I want that helmet that Patrick (Mahomes) has. I wonder if he still has it. I’m going to ask him if he still has it. I kind of want it."

Mahomes fnished the game with the broken helmet rather than switching to his backup gear. It was probably because the other helmet was lying outside at minus 4°F, and its temperature could affect his game.

Kansas City was victorious 26-7 and went on to win back-to-back Super Bowls, beating the Bills, Ravens and the 49ers in the postseason.

"The trainers and coaches have really done the research, and they understand what we need to do," Mahomes said on Monday.
"So now it's just going down there and playing football. And I think more than anything, it was just explaining to some guys how far the trip was. Some guys didn't understand how far the travel was. Travis, even though he was just down there like last year. It's just explaining to him how the globe works."

The tight end flew to Buenos Aires during the team's November 2023 bye week to meet his partner and music icon, Taylor Swift.
