Breaking: Chiefs Revamp Roster With 3 Significant Changes, Mahomes Stays Put
The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t been the swashbuckling team on offense that we have come to expect under Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, yet the team is 10-1.
With so many injuries and moving parts, the Chiefs have simply been getting the job done, and they don’t seem to care about how it looks as long as the end result remains the same—win.
Part of what has made the Chiefs win 10 of their first 11 games is Patrick Mahomes’ “instinct” late in games. He often makes “the” play at “the” time to get his team either to win or put them in a position to win.
And for CBS Sports, Mahomes’ clutch trait is something to be thankful for.
“Patrick Mahomes’ killer instinct remains intact,” CBS Sports writes. “Everyone around him is seemingly either aging, hurt or spare parts, but the quarterback’s ridiculously efficient late-game scrambling has kept them a winner.”
In preparation for “Black Friday” against the Raiders, the Chiefs can also be “thankful” for the health of a couple of players who on Thursday were roster-move news.
KC has activated Charles Omenihu and Isiah Pacheco from Reserve/Injured. The Chiefs have also activated practice-squad players Anthony Firkser and Matthew Wright. … with kicker Wright possibly being pressed into service this week.
Whether it be the overtime drive against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to claim an ugly win or a 33-yard scramble in the fourth quarter with under two minutes to go to set his team up in position to kick the game-winning field goal, Mahomes almost feels inevitable when it comes to crucial times in games.
Of course, this is nothing new for the Chiefs, as Mahomes has demonstrated that trait since becoming the starter in 2018.
However, with the team not playing as well as we know they can, one thing remains a constant for Reid’s offense – Mahomes still has that killer instinct.
