A discussion between the couple was caught on ESPN cameras during the broadcast of the Red Raiders' win over Baylor. Mahomes appeared to say something to Matthews, who looked to the person next to her with an animated response, seemingly mocking the quarterback.

The interaction went viral across social media, thanks in large part to Matthews' status as an increasingly polarizing figure among fans.
