The Kansas City Chiefs have had quite the turnaround over the past couple of months, which quarterback Patrick Mahomes sees has been due to the team’s sheer trust in the “process.”
The Chiefs garnered plenty of outside criticism following their 3-4 start to the campaign. For a team that capped off a run to the Super Bowl in the season prior, many predicted that the side would not claim another AFC West title, let alone reach the playoffs.
Fast-forward two months later, and the Chiefs are now in the driver’s seat to soon clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC. For Mahomes, he never threw in the towel on his team this season, which he opened up about during a press conference ahead of the upcoming Week 17 clash with the Cincinnati Bengals.
“I think it was just staying with the process, that was the biggest thing,” Mahomes said. “No one held their head down, we knew there was a lot of season left, we knew that what we wanted was right in front of us. Our guys came in with the right mentality every single day to get better and we’re sitting where we’re at now, but the job is not finished.
“We still have to try and find a way to get this No. 1 seed playing two great football teams these next two weeks and then try to make a run in the playoffs. We understand that it’s not done yet. It’s been great these last few weeks, but we still have a long way to go.”
The Chiefs could lock up the top seed in the conference as soon as this week, as they would need both a win over the Bengals and a Tennessee Titans loss to the Miami Dolphins to once again accomplish this feat in the Patrick Mahomes era.
