INDIANAPOLIS — Kansas City Chiefs The fourth quarter saw them miss a chip-shot field goal, which meant they missed three points that could have been very useful. They failed to convert on a fake field goal and they muffed the punt that opened the game. Indianapolis Colts A touchdown is made within the 5-yard limit.
Patrick Mahomes None of this would have been relevant to his Colts counterpart. Matt RyanHe was not outgunned in the end. Two touchdowns by the Chiefs in four red zone tries was enough to give them their 20-17 loss on Sunday.
“We need to ensure that those little errors don’t lead to the loss,” Mahomes stated. Mahomes was thrown an interception in the final quarter as the Chiefs tried to win the game in overtime. “We had many chances to get into the end zone. If we do, it’s not too late. The Chiefs will win the game.
To score their touchdowns, Mahomes and Chiefs’ offense required a lot of help from the defense. After the defense stopped the Colts at downs, they were in a favorable field position for both scores and forced a turnover.
Mahomes has a completely new cast of wide receivers. This includes free-agent additions JuJu Smith-Schuster And Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He declined to use that excuse as Chiefs scored just 20 offensive points against the Steelers last week. Los Angeles Chargers The Colts won 17 of these games.
He said, “I don’t expect any growing pains.” “Obviously, you have new players and it’s not possible to predict how everyone will respond to difficult situations.
“We have to work together. It starts with me. Certain throws were thrown on men’s back hips rather than in front of them. In certain cases, we were barely off the mark. . . You have to perform at a higher standard when playing tough games like this. And we must learn from it. It doesn’t get any easier. We have a difficult game next Sunday against Tampa. The defense is strong so we need to get better fast. We don’t want these losses to keep piling up if we don’t. We want to ensure that we return to the winning train.
Mahomes was clearly frustrated towards the end of the first period when television cameras captured him engaging in a heated discussion with Eric Bieniemy, the offensive coordinator. The Chiefs decided to run out of time rather than trying to make it into field goal range.
Andy Reid, Coach, guided Mahomes out of Bieniemy.
Mahomes stated, “I wanted to try to score,” “That’s how I am. We were in a difficult situation. I believe it was second or third-and-20. It was a difficult situation. Our smart move was to go halftime. But I will always want to score. I basically said, “Let me try it,” and he was like, “Let’s go to the locker room and move on to the next half.”
“I don’t know if it’s an altercation. That was the end.
