Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was undeniably happy that his team won their second consecutive Super Bowl title last season, but he was not happy with the way they actually performed.
During a recent press conference, Patrick Mahomes made it clear that even though the team ultimately accomplished their end goal of winning the Super Bowl, he was not happy with the offensive production from the team and he wants to improve upon that this upcoming season.
“You’ve got to come in with that same mentality you had the year before — even a higher intensity,” Mahomes said at his Tuesday press conference upon arriving for training camp. “And even though we won the Super Bowl last year, we felt like we didn’t play our best football — especially offensively. So, it’s our goal to be better that way. And come in with that mentality every single day.”
The Chiefs finished the year ranked No. 9 in total yards and No. 15 in scoring offense. While that was good enough to get them to a Super Bowl title thanks to some stellar play from the defense, Mahomes wants to improve across the board on the offensive side of the ball.
“Yeah, I mean, obviously the end result was awesome, but I think a lot of us still have a weird feeling in our mouth because we really didn’t play football the way we wanted to play all year long,” Mahomes said. “It wasn’t fun. Every single week, trying to just continue to get better and better and results not paying off the way you want them to — it wasn’t a lot of fun.”
Needless to say, it’s pretty insane news that Mahomes is still not satisfied with a season that led to a second consecutive Super Bowl, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
The entire NFL is in serious trouble. https://t.co/e81giULHZT

Love that @PatrickMahomes acknowledges that, despite winning the superbowl, last season wasn't fun. Can't wait for it to be fun all season long. What a great place to start from. https://t.co/UUcKBVoZKB

A Super Bowl winning season wasn’t fun enough for Patrick Lavon Mahomes. The rest of the league is so cooked.

They aren't going to let last year happen again.
They'll point to all the failures and struggles of last year, and no one will sneak up on them.
Scary for the rest of the NFL. https://t.co/mixjY1YIHY

We’ll have to see whether or not the team can improve to Mahomes’ standards this offseason.
