Following a 40-22 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes admitted he didn’t play to his “standard.”
“I feel like I didn’t play to my standard just with the struggles that I had early in this season,” Mahomes said. “There are things that I have to get better at, and they kind of showed today.”
“I’m about to find a way this offseason to combat what defenses are doing to me as far as rush lanes and different coverages that they’re playing. That’s the beauty of football is that you never can be satisfied with just coming out there and playing and thinking you’re going to have success year in and year out. These defenses are going to continue to get better and better, and so I have to get better.”
“I take a lot of ownership in that, and I want to hopefully come back and play better football this next season,” he added.”
Mahomes isn’t the only one who believes he didn’t play his best game. On Monday morning ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky suggested it was the “worst” performance of Mahomes’ incredible career.
“It’s the most unsettled and flustered I’ve ever seen Patrick look. It’s the worst game I’ve seen Patrick play. The pressure that was happening, for his eyes to drop, for his feet to be all over the place, and that led to uncharacteristic misses for Patrick Mahomes. Really the second pass of the game it happened,” Orlovsky said on “Get Up” this morning.
The former NFL quarterback and current analyst later took to social media to say Mahomes’ performance was “shocking.”
“Shocking to see. Shocking. His feet…,” Orlovsky said.
Mahomes certainly didn’t live up to the hype on Sunday night.
