Patrick Mahomes isn’t having a great start to 2024 N.F.L season in terms of statistics. However, there is no one on the Kansas City Chiefs seem to be concerned about it. Andy Reid made that clear recently, and the quarterback also downplayed this situation, warning the rest of the league that he is just about winning.

“If we win, it hurts less (scoring fewer points).” Mahomes said via Arrowhead pride. “It’s clear that I want to be perfect. I want to be great. I (also) don’t want to put our defense in bad positions like I did the other day. But at the end of the day I want to win.“

The Chiefs arrived in Week 9 as the only undefeated team in the 2024 NFL season, with a perfect 7-0 record. This becomes even more remarkable when we look at Mahomes’ low production and the opponents they have faced the number of injured players in violation.

Strong defense and a productive running game have been key to the Chiefs’ success so far this season. While Mahomes would like to improve the passing game, he is willing to sacrifice his own numbers if it benefits the team.

Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs throws a pass to Travis Kelce #87 during the first quarter against the New Orleans Saints at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 7, 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri.

“Anyway, we have to win the football game, I’m good at it – if that’s scoring a lot of touchdowns, and not scoring touchdowns (or) if that’s the football. Whatever it is – (even) if it’s playing defense to win football games – at the end of the day I just want to win. I think we’re doing an excellent job with that” said Mahomes.

“(They do a good job with their shell coverage – allowing us to get light yards underneath – they’re just not the big pieces. (But) I’m OK with what they’re presenting defensively. We have to use what we have there. Teams would show you shell coverage – and (Mahomes) would have to get used to that whole deal a little bit. Now he sees it, handles it, takes it to his guys (and) takes the ball out of his hands. He’s a great player. He manages everything. It’s like having a coach on the field” said Reid.
