Patrick Mahomes talks about the three mistakes he made against the Broncos
Speaking about the three mistakes he made during the game, Mahomes said, “The first one, probably just took the easy thread outside, try to force it to kill. The second one, I was trying to burn it… I mean, he (Patrick Surtain) made a hell of a play. I was just trying to throw it away at someone’s feet.“
“The third one was just bad. Bad, because of the situation, we’re in filtering, especially here at the altitude. If I throw the ball away, no one’s open. So, just throw the ball away and let Harrison in the game… Luckily for me, the rest of the team stepped up,” Mahomes further added.
