Mahomes has been the key weapon in challenging the Eagles’ defense, contributing a passing touchdown and a rushing TD in the 17-20 loss. As the leader of the offense, the Chiefs superstar was self-critical after recognizing a miscommunication with Kelce. The Chiefs’ quarterback took responsibility for the situation and addressed Kelce’s interception at the goal line, a crucial play in the loss to the Eagles. “I threw it a tad too early. If I could put it on his body, he can catch it, take the hit, and get into the endzone,” Mahomes said at the press conference.

Mahomes didn’t stop at his own analysis and pointed to other reasons despite feeling a disconnect with Kelce. “We played two good football teams and made mistakes in big moments. We’re coming together as a team. It’s not how we wanted to start, but it’s how we respond,” he said at the press conference.
