It has been quite a ride for the Kansas City Chiefs to reach this point. It was all peaches and cream at the start of the season, but as it went on, the Chiefs faced some turbulence. Especially Patrick Mahomes, who has been in the headlines after their loss to the Green Bay Packers and the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes had a lot of time to reflect as the Chiefs finally snatched a win against the New England Patriots.

Patrick Mahomes is laser-sharp focused!

The Chiefs’ QB1 was asked about his concentration in the game. He gave Bill Belichick due credit and said that he needed to be super focused and wary of Belichick’s schemes. He praised Belichick and said that it was required for the team to focus on the details as much as possible. The Chiefs came out with a 27-17 victory against the Pats.

“You want to get as many tells as you can but um, in an important game we needed to win so uh, I was glad with how the guys responded and we were able to find a way to win against a really good team,” said Mahomes to the reporter.

Mahomes further added that the Chiefs are finally getting back their momentum as the Broncos are just behind them in the AFC West. The QB plans to “keep getting better” as he has been in a lot of highlights for the wrong reasons following recent losses to the Eagles and especially the Bills.

Finally, the game against the Patriots showed his promised improvement. Not only that, it seems Magic Mahomes is finally making a comeback on the gridiron.
