Mahomes Chiefs still believe after loss to Raiders

Patrick Mahomes remains confident despite a loss to the Raiders, believes the Chiefs can fix their offensive problems and make the playoffs.

Patrick Mahomes expressed confidence in the Kansas City Chiefs' ability to overcome their struggles and achieve their goals, despite a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He acknowledged the need for quick corrections and improvements, especially as they approach the playoffs. The Chiefs' offensive performance in the game was subpar, marked by negative yardage in the first quarter and two touchdowns scored by the Raiders' defense.

Mahomes acknowledged that the team has shown flashes of potential but needs to find consistency, particularly in addressing offensive issues that have persisted throughout the season. The Chiefs have struggled with dropped passes, penalties, and turnovers, all of which have impacted their ability to score points. The team is focused on cleaning up their performance in the remaining games to secure a spot in the playoffs and make a strong postseason run.

Injuries have further complicated the Chiefs' situation, with running back Isiah Pacheco leaving the game with a concussion and Jerick McKinnon being placed on the injured reserve list. These setbacks have led to changes in the running back lineup, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and La'Mikal Perine taking on increased roles. Despite the challenges, Mahomes remains optimistic about the team's potential and is determined to prove that they can overcome their struggles and achieve success.
