Andy Reid‘s Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes continue to move forward with the goal of achieving it. The QB is displaying outstanding talent, and this is why a former Super Bowl champion spoke out about it.
Drew Brees is undoubtedly one of the best players at his position in recent times, and he is definitely an authority to comment on the current situation of his peers. Mahomes may be having his best moment, and this is why the former New Orleans Saints player made it clear what makes him so special for his team.
In a recent interview with Clutchpoints.com, Brees showered praise on the Chiefs’ player, stating that he has practically everything needed to achieve a historic feat, such as becoming three-time champions in the NFL.
“He is extremely smart, he is very capable. He can make every throw. He’s got ultimate confidence,” Brees said. “He’s wise though, he takes care of the ball. He knows situations, he knows how to play the game. He knows how to manipulate the game.”

Mahomes clarifies his status regarding the injury
In Week 15 of the season, Patrick Mahomes raised all alarms after leaving the game against the Cleveland Browns due to a high-ankle sprain. Incredibly, the quarterback managed to recover in record time and was available for the victory against the Texans.
Regarding his current health status, the Chiefs QB told the media that he feels more comfortable with his injury and is slowly recovering to be in the best shape for the final stretch of the season.
“I think I’ll be in a better place ankle-wise,” Mahomes said. “I mean, obviously the body’s going to be sore with the short week and everything like that, but I think the ankle should be in a better place. Obviously, we’ll see at practice today. As far as how I felt after this game compared to the one before, I’m definitely in a lot better place.”

The current situation of Chris Jones
Unfortunately for Andy Reid and his staff, injuries have been a constant this season. Despite this, the team managed to bounce back and move forward with ease. During the last game against the Texans, DT Chris Jones injured his calf, making him doubtful for what’s ahead.
That’s how NFL insider Adam Schefter reported it, through his X (formerly Twitter) account @AdamSchefter: “Chiefs DT Chris Jones is unlikely to play today vs. Pittsburgh due to his calf injury, per league sources. Jones hurt his calf Saturday vs. the Texans, and a short week leading up to the Christmas Day game makes it challenging heading into pre-game warmups.”

NFL News: Patrick Mahomes’ teammate makes strong complaint about Andy Reid’s Chiefs’ tough schedule

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day to move to a record of 15-1 and secure the top spot in the AFC West. The 2024 NFL season continues to be near perfect for Andy Reid‘s team, thanks in large part to the stellar performances of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs appreciate the current run because it has not been easy to put together a winning streak of this magnitude. Reid‘s men have had to deal with significant injuries and a tough schedule that has seen them win three games in eleven days.
Patrick Mahomes has been constant in valuing the Chiefs‘ effort. He has been joined by several players such as cornerback Trent McDuffie, who did not hesitate to express his opinion on the wear and tear caused by a tight schedule.
McDuffie complains about Chiefs’ schedule
“Three games in 11 days is crazy for anybody. I thought we handled it really well. I thought the coaches did a good job of helping us physically and giving us a little more time mentally to get things done. It’s a chance to thank those guys,” Mahomes’ teammate Trent McDuffie said.

“It was tough, mentally, physically, there’s a lot of strain, especially these past two days, trying to travel here and figure out what the team’s doing. I mean, a lot of guys came in, stepping in and out,” cornerback McDuffie said at a press conference.
