Chiefs' Matt Nagy Gets Honest on Patrick Mahomes
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to win their third straight Super Bowl Title. It is a feat that no team has ever accomplished. And as they sit atop the AFC West with an undefeated record they look primed to capture another title.
But this year, the Chiefs' dominance has been done by committee as many of their stars have struggled. Most notably, their starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes' numbers this year have not been on par with his numbers in past seasons. This year he is on pace to throw the fewest number of touchdowns in his career and the most interceptions.
But even though Mahomes has struggled this season by his standards, the Chiefs' offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy, believes he can get back to playing on that superstar level.
"Staying calm and going back the basics. We've had a lot of great things happen in this offense because of him. There are a lot of things that happen within one play, whether it's a protection, whether it's a throw, or whether it's a wrong route that happens on an interception. So, just understanding that part of it and then resetting and using that next-play mentality," Nagy said.
"There's no one better than him because he's so competitive and he wants to be great, so he puts a lot of pressure on himself in a good way. It's a healthy pressure because he wants to do great, so we just want to make sure that we balance that, keep it contained, and then go out there and cut it loose."
