No one needs to ask Patrick Mahomes if he’s ready for Saturday. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback says he’s been dreaming of an opportunity such as this since he was just a kid.
Indeed, the chance to win in the playoffs in front of a rowdy home crowd is the stuff of imaginative afternoons in the backyard. Every kid has dreamt of such moments, enacting the very winning catch and pass with siblings, cousins or neighborhood friends—the clock winding down, the crowd roaring in the background, the last gasp effort in the end zone.
On Tuesday, Mahomes spoke with reporters about the Chiefs upcoming game, a home game against the visiting Indianapolis Colts who have earned significant respect with an incredible winning streak after their lackluster 1-5 start.
