Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes discusses playoff game mindset in Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Wednesday during his press conference, describing the team’s sense of urgency throughout the week.

“Just like if you were going to a big divisional game or a playoff game or whatever it is, you just have to know what’s at stake. You try to prepare yourself throughout the week and do the little extra stuff so that your mind can be settled on gameday and then you can go out there and just play, knowing that you need to go out there and win the football game and knowing we’re going – we’re playing against a really good football team that’s playing great football right now. It’s a great opportunity at the end of the day. Obviously, we’re 5-5, not where we want to be at, but we get to write the rest of this season’s story, and it starts this week with the Colts at (GEHA Field at) Arrowhead (Stadium), and I’m excited for us to go out there and do it.”

The Chiefs are now three games back of the Denver Broncos in the loss column in the AFC West. They are now in a crowded field of teams battling for a spot in the Wild Card race. Sunday’s Week 12 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts will have a heavy effect on the team’s future.
