Kansas City Chiefs‘ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, has had a challenging start to the 2024-25 NFL season.
Despite completing nearly 69% of his passes-a career-high-he’s thrown six touchdowns against five interceptions, struggling with turnovers and consistency.
While Mahomes has delivered standout plays, such as a 54-yard touchdown to Xavier Worthy against the Los Angeles Chargers, he’s also made costly mistakes, like an interception during the same game.
Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy believes the solution lies in Mahomes returning to basics and maintaining his composure. “Staying calm and going back to the basics,” Nagy emphasized.
He explained that each play involves multiple elements, including protection, throws, and route execution, and that Mahomes needs to maintain a next-play mentality after errors.
“There’s no one better than him because he’s so competitive and wants to be great,” Nagy went on. “It’s a healthy pressure because he wants to excel.”
Mahomes‘s pocket presence has also been a concern, as he’s been seen moving away from clean pockets or stepping into pressure situations.
This could stem from the unsettled left tackle situation, affecting his confidence. Additionally, injuries to key receivers like Rashee Rice and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown have limited his downfield options, adding to his struggles.
Upcoming Test Against the Saints
Despite these challenges, Mahomes has shown the ability to bounce back from rough patches.
Last season, he faced similar issues, which many linked to a lack of receiver talent. However, he adapted and led the team to success.
With upcoming Monday night’s game against the New Orleans Saints, Mahomes will face a crucial test.
A strong performance under the spotlight could be a turning point, signaling a return to form and helping the Chiefs maintain their winning streak.
