As good as Patrick Mahomes has been for the Kansas City Chiefs this year, he has also made his fair share of mistakes. But that isn't stopping Andy Reid from wanting Mahomes to continue to keep firing.

The Chiefs are coming off a bye this last week, but Mahomes had five turnovers (three interceptions, two fumbles) against the Los Angeles Rams the week before. On Wednesday, the young gunslinger said it was going to be a priority to take better care of the ball, especially trying to eliminate the fumbles.

Reid knows how hard Mahomes work and isn't concerned that the turnovers are going to be an issue the rest of the year.

“You don’t hide it,” Reid said, via ESPN.com. “You go back and evaluate it: How did those things happen and then how do you fix them so they don’t happen again? So we’ve done that. One thing about Pat is that he doesn’t make the same mistake twice. That’s not been his M.O. here. I’m not worried about that. I want him to keep firing. Learn from your mistakes, but keep firing.”

This has been a special year for Mahomes, and this team is still one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl, especially if he can keep the turnovers to a minimum.

On the season, Mahomes has thrown for 3,628 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. The Chiefs play their next game on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders, and it's going to be a good chance to get back on the right track.
