Patrick Mahomes Tells Teammates: 'I've Got To Be Better'

Oct 29, 2021 9:01 AM

In the wake of the worst statistical game of his career, Patrick Mahomes was honest with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates about the team's recent offensive struggles.

"You can just watch the tape and know that I need to play better in order to have success," Mahomes said. "There were plays where guys were open. There were plays where we had matchups down the field that I didn't hit that I usually would give those guys opportunities to make plays.

"I've said something to them that I've got to be better. At the same time, they have that mindset that they're going to try to build me up. It's a thing where you're not going to play your best game every single game, and that's when you have to rely on your other guys to kind of step up and make plays for you."

Andy Reid Becomes First Coach To Win 100 Games With Two Teams

Oct 4, 2021 9:08 AM

Andy Reid made NFL history on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.

Reid is the first coach in league history to win 100 games with two teams -- the Chiefs and Eagles.

"I'm pretty good with it," he said after K.C.'s 42-30 victory in Philadelphia.

Reid won 140 games with the Eagles from 1999 through 2012. He then moved to Kansas City, where his record is 100-45 in eight full seasons plus four games in 2021.

"It's special to him," Patrick Mahomes said. "He kind of became Andy Reid in Philadelphia. ... But when you look back on [his career], you'll know him as a Kansas City Chief. The way he was able to build up this organization from day one. ... No offense to Philly but I'm glad they let him go and he's coaching us in Kansas City.

"He'll definitely take in this moment for a second, at least.''
