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."
