Patrick Mahomes jokingly likened Travis Kelce to his young daughter after he ignored instructions during the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent victory.
On Monday Night Football, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback skillfully guided his team to a victorious 26-13 triumph against the New Orleans Saints.
The Chiefs extended their record for the 2024-25 NFL season to 5-0, as Andy Reid’s team continues their quest for an unprecedented three consecutive championships.
The score was tight at 10-7, and the Chiefs were facing a challenging third down situation with 21 yards to go. Samaje Perine, the running back, received a lateral pass from the tight end and gained an additional ten yards.
Mahomes expressed his disbelief and frustration during the post-game press conference regarding the incident. He even drew a comparison between conversing with the 35-year-old individual and explaining something to his three-year-old daughter, Sterling.
“It’s quite amusing because I had actually informed him prior to the play,” Mahomes chuckled, “I said to him, ‘I’ll pass it to you so that we can get into field-goal range’.” “It feels as though I’m having a conversation with Sterling.” “That’s Travis, dude. He’s an exceptional player.
Chiefs injury crisis
In the Week 4 victory in Los Angeles, Patrick Mahomes unfortunately suffered the loss of yet another offensive weapon due to injury.
Wide receiver Rashee Rice was seen being transported off the field on a medical cart at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, leaving the Chiefs concerned about his well-being.
The Kansas City team was already dealing with the absence of wide receiver Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and starting running back Isiah Pacheco (fractured fibula), both of whom were signed during free agency.
They are both expected to be absent for significant portions of the 2024 NFL season. In the wake of their victory against the LA Chargers, which propelled them to a 4-0 record, Mahomes expressed his thoughts, stating, “Our next step is to focus on the fundamentals and create opportunities for our teammates to thrive.”
“The individuals rose to the occasion and effectively assumed the crucial role that Rice plays in our offense, which is quite significant.” Perine acknowledged that he does that in practice every day.
“He is always prepared and constantly aware of his surroundings. It is important to remain vigilant and be ready to react at any moment.” He plays football as if he’s in a backyard game.
Experiencing it firsthand was an absolute whirlwind, but I can say with certainty that it was an incredibly enjoyable and thrilling experience.
