Chiefs' Mahomes Acknowledges Playoff Concerns

The Kansas City Chiefs recently secured a narrow 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but concerns about their performance persist as they approach the playoffs. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed that the team is not playing at its best, admitting, "We’ve got too many mistakes to clean up to get where we want to go." Offensive tackle Wanya Morris apologized for his struggles in protecting Mahomes, who was sacked five times in this game, equaling his career high, and was subsequently benched by head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs' close wins have led former NFL coach Rex Ryan to question their playoff viability, suggesting they might be eliminated early. Despite the wins, the Chiefs have faced criticism for their inconsistent play, raising doubts about their championship defense. As the playoffs loom, Mahomes and the team are focused on improving their performance to ensure success.
