Patrick Mahomes speaks on first AFC West trial of the season
Mahomes knows it will not be an easy test and expects the Chargers to come out swinging behind the arm of Justin Herbert. Last season, the rookie quarterback threw for 31 touchdowns and ten interceptions. Through two games, the quarterback has two touchdowns and three interceptions, but that doesn’t fool Mahomes.
The quarterback of the Chiefs knows the implications of this early game could be massive for the season. The Chargers could win more than ten games this season if Herbert plays as advertised. The Chargers are also welcoming back Derwin James, who suffered a meniscus injury in 2020.
Many see the Chargers as the biggest threat to the Chiefs this season, with a star rookie head coach and an up-and-coming quarterback hoping to force the Chiefs to give chase. Mahomes essentially concurred:
For the first time since early in Alex Smith’s era, the Chiefs could fall to under .500 on Sunday. Many expect the Chiefs to win, but there are no guarantees. How Mahomes plays in this game may set the stage for the type of season the Chiefs are in for. Will they step away from the edge with a win?
