The first thing you hear as you walk into the locker room rocked by Patrick Mahomes is, well, the first thing you hear is not suitable for a family publication. The first thing you hear is anger. Raw anger. Loud anger. Bewildered anger.
The NFL requires teams to allow reporters into the locker room about 10 minutes after the last player is inside. Ten minutes is not nearly enough time for the Broncos to process a blown lead, at home, in a hazy flurry that included a left-handed throw by a right-handed quarterback, a first down after a second-and-30, a third-down conversion that never should have happened, and so much more in a 27-23 loss to the Chiefs here in front of a national television audience on Monday night.
