Patrick Mahomes is out to prove he can bring more Christmas cheer to Kansas City Chiefs fans this year than he did in 2023. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Mahomes said his goal is play better on December 25th, the team’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I’m gonna try to be better on Christmas because last Christmas was not great,” he said via the Chiefs’ YouTube channel.
Mahomes’ quip elicited a laugh from reporters but there’s plenty of truth to those comments. Last Christmas, he had one of the worst games of his NFL career. In a 20-14 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Mahomes went 27-of-44 for 235 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
