With his stats being a big talking point around the NFL this season, Patrick Mahomes let Andy Reid know which are his priorities with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes is not having a great start to the 2024 NFL season in terms of stats. However, no one on the Kansas City Chiefs seem to be concerned about it.
Andy Reid made that clear recently, and the quarterback also downplayed this situation, warning the rest of the league that he only cares about winning.
“When we win, [scoring fewer points] doesn’t hurt as bad,” Mahomes said, via Arrowhead Pride. “Obviously, I want to be perfect. I want to be great. I [also] don’t want to put our defense in bad positions like I did the other day. But at the end of the day, I want to win.“
The Chiefs arrived in Week 9 as the only undefeated team in the 2024 NFL season, riding on a perfect 7-0 record.
This becomes even more remarkable if we consider Mahomes’ low production, the opponents they’ve faced and the number of injured players in offense.
A strong defense and a prolific running game have so far been keys to the Chiefs‘ success this season. While Mahomes would like to improve the passing game, he’s willing to sacrifice his own numbers if that benefits the team.
“However we have to win the football game, I’m good with it — if that’s scoring a lot of touchdowns, not scoring touchdowns [or] if that’s running the football.
Whatever it is — [even] if it’s playing defense to win football games — I just want to win at the end of the day. I think we’re doing a great job of that,” Mahomes said.
