The Kansas City Chiefs have won one of their last four games; they lost against the Green Bay Packers, the Buffalo Bills, and the Las Vegas Raiders but won against the New England Patriots.
In the season, they stand with a score of 9-6 and are first in the AFC West division. However, frustration has surrounded the Chiefs squad, but they still have a chance to advance when they play against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The twice Super Bowl champion and star quarterback of the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, has recently stated that the squad can achieve its long-term objectives. The quarterback also sheds light on how the squad’s offense needs to be coherent in its approach.
According to Pro Football Talk, Mahomes, the twice Super Bowl MVP, shared, "In order for offenses to work in this league it takes everybody — it starts with me, and it goes throughout everyone else and everyone has to be on the same page."
"This last week we weren’t on the same page in some critical moments and that hurt us. I believe in these guys. We work our tail off and I know we say it every week but we go out there and put whatever we can on tape."
"Everyone is putting everything they have in this game during the week and during the game and I trust these guys are going to continue to work. We have two games left to prove it. At the end of the day, we can talk about it all we want, we have two games left to show that this work we’re putting in every single week is going to pay off."
He further shared, "[O]nce you get to the playoffs it’s open for everyone to go out there and win it. I think that starts with today’s practice, how we practice. We know Cincinnati, we know them well, they’re going to play hard, they have a great football team, a great defense and it will be a great challenge as an offense for us to go up against."
"I think people see frustration and they think it causes controversy. I see it as a way of showing that people care — they care about their profession, they care about trying to do whatever they can do to win games."

"When I see stuff like that happen, obviously, we want to be in the positive light and all of that. I see someone that cares about the game and someone who wants to be better, not better for themselves but better for the team."
