Andy Reid’s OC Announces Offensive Plans for Patrick Mahomes As Chiefs QB Sets 2018 Mentality Goal

It’s week 15 of the season. And the Chiefs are already into the playoffs. The fans are happy. But the question remains. Are they good enough to win in the playoffs? Patrick Mahomes & Co. has failed to score enough points on the offense that would raise confidence. After winning 12 out of 13 games, they have not crossed the 30-point barrier in any game. Most of their wins have been by close margins, including the week 13 and week 14 victories (both by 19-17).

While the team prepares for their Sunday prime-time game against the Browns, their offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy, talking about their strategy with Patrick Mahomes, said, “We’ve got to make sure we’re always working footwork drills in the pocket. So that in the game you feel the presence of some pressure.” That’s right. But the offense needs to perform as a team.

Be it injuries to their key players like Rashee Rice, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, Skyy Moore, and Harrison Butker, or struggle with form like Travis Kelce, they have been sorting issues as they come. The HC Andy Reid must be praised for the way he has handled the team. And they have remained focused on winning.

That’s what the OC Nagy has been trying to achieve with Patrick Mahomes and his O-line as he added, “I think when you are a quarterback, there are so many elements that go into a play.” He also talked about balancing both the offense and defense and said, “If they do a good job on defense, don’t make it bad playing worse. And balancing, trying to do something.”

The signal-caller is eyeing domination. He is going back to his first year as a starter in 2018. That’s a warning to the rivals too.

Patrick Mahomes channeling energy from his previous performance

For those of you who didn’t get it, here’s the thing he wants back. In 2018, he got his chance to start for the Chiefs. But he was also hungry for success. And with his performance, he won the hearts of Chiefdom. That season, in 16 games, Patrick Mahomes had 383 of 580 passes (66% completion rate) in 5,097 passing yards with 50 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Though they didn’t win the Super Bowl that year, they clinched it the next year, in 2019. However, that’s not the only thing. In 2018, they won the last game of the regular season but lost two matchups before it. In 2019, 2022, and 2023, when they won the Super Bowl, they won the last two games of the regular season in all of them.

This year, they would want to finish the season on a high. The emotions are already running high. However, NBA Legend Draymond Green claimed that the Chiefs would lose the first playoff game they would play. Do you also think the same? Or Mahomes would achieve the coveted peat with his 2018 mindset. Let us know in the comments.
